“It's not about knowin where you are. It's about thinkin you got there without takin anything with you. Your notions about startin over. Or anybody's. You dont start over. That's what it's about. Every step you take is forever. You cant make it go away. None of it.”

It's an act when it comes to Ol Dirty Bastard. They ACT like they love Ol Dirty - ladies don't love Ol Dirty Bastard because … Ol Dirty Bastard is busy lovin' them. They might like Ol Dirty Bastard, know what I'm sayin? They might listen to his music or something, but really they don't pay no mind. They pay nothing no mind, nothing is paid a mind to, really, on this earth. It's just living, and dying. The world is a big ball of fire and it's just burning with no feeling.

“Take the time to make some sense / Of what you want to say / And cast your words away upon the waves
Dance if you wanna dance, please brother take a chance / You know we're gonna go which way we wanna go / All we know is that we don't know how it's gonna be, please brother let it be / Life, on the other hand, won't make you understand / We're all part of the masterplan.
I'm not saying right is wrong / It's up to us to make the best of all the things that come our way”

“Oh I'm just a man, that's the way I was made.
I'm not too good at sayin' what you need me to say.
It's always right there on the tip of my tongue.
It might go unsaid but it won't go undone.
So when those three little words come so easy to you,
I hope you know what I mean when I say, me too.”

Song lyrics, Blue Moon (1996)
