• "People always ask me how long somebody can last as long as I've been lasting and continue to keep doing it, so I figured that people didn't really know how to do that, That's one of the most asked questions and it's one of the hardest feats in the music industry, maintaining and continuing to keep doing at the same pace for a lengthy amount of years. I feel that if anybody's got the instructions on how to do it, then I'm that person." Jermaine Dupri

• "People know me, and want to know me, as a baller more than anything else, When people see me on the streets, they talk to me more about the aspects of balling side of things than the other stuff. I gave people what I thought they wanted, since they're always asking me about my cars and if they can have some money. People want to associate me with money." Jermaine Dupri
