- Nelly on his career in the music business:

“Music is so motivational.  That love, that passion, I didn’t get into music strictly to make money.  Did I get in it to make a life, yeah, I needed to make a living but I did it because I love it.  Hip hop.  Because I am hip-hop.  And that’s my life and that’s what I do. “
