33 Quotes by Big Boi

My goal every time I make a record is just to make the funkiest, the best music I could possibly make, both lyrically, and music-wise.

When I leave a room, it's gonna be footprints of funk wherever I stepped, because I'm a soul-funk crusader.

I'm dead serious about my craft and just really serious about making music in itself. I take pride in making songs and albums where no two songs sound alike. That's the challenge and that's what it's all about, to keep it original and fresh and funky.

My kids, they're like nine or ten years old right now so you give 'em responsibilities just to keep them up on things. It ain't just all about getting on the skateboard or putting your Heelys on, and swimming in the pool all the time. You gotta do stuff like wash dishes, take the trash out, feed the dog.
