Quotes by Heavy D
His name is Michael Jackson, not Super Michael Jackson. He makes mistakes just like all of us.
Heavy D
I’m not one of those pop guys. That’s for wimps like Vanilla Ice.
Heavy D
There’s something about being any kind of entertainer that is acting. You have to put on a show. Things you wouldn’t do in your life, you do on stage. You have to let go. And that’s extra hard for rappers. We have a tendency to, quote unquote, keep it real. As an actor, you have to be able to humiliate yourself. Do whatever it takes.
Heavy D
As an artist, there were different levels in my career that brought me to a realization that I am what you would call a pure artist. And I don’t say that with any type of vanity.
Heavy D
Reggae was always a passion of mine. I used to say in interviews that I would love to do a reggae album. But it consumed my life being a hip-hop artist and being Heavy D, which I’m happy and proud of.
