"Quincy Jones said something that made me think. He said, 'Tupac died at 25. If I had died at 25, I would have been a musician who didn't get a chance to blossom. If Malcolm X died at 25, he would have been a street hustler named Detroit Red. If MLK died at 25, he would have just been a preacher who never got to be the Martin Luther King Jr. that we know.' .. That made me think I could die tomorrow, and that right there would stop my legacy and my life. People would never get a chance to know what I could have grown to be."
- Ja Rule on retiring from rap, The Source, February 2003
