It was like I'd known him for a hundred years.

I just knew his world. It was like the world I grew up in in Dublin. I knew gangsters and drugs and I was even in a band. It was like he was a long lost brother.

At the end of the movie people will wonder: Is this the real 50 Cent? Has he changed? Is he acting a part? All three are true.

I've liked rap music for 10, 15 years.

He's funny, he doesn't take himself too seriously. I think that's one of the secrets of his success, that it's a contradictory image.

I was going to everybody and saying, 'You've got to stop this,' and nobody was saying no, so I just lost my head.

It's kind of like Greek tragedy.

He works very, very hard - he's determined, very focused and has huge self-esteem.

The kids were going insane, 50. I thought someone was going to get injured.
