His nickname was Bear. Now imagine a guy that can carry the nickname Bear.

[on LL Cool J's name] He obviously went to a school where you get to pick your own f**king nickname, he did. "I shall be 'LL Cool J', 'Ladies Love Cool James'". "Nice one, God I wish I'd thought of that one for myself." If I'd gone to his school, my nickname probably would have been 'LL Nice E B T G P H A A F', which stands for 'Ladies Like Nice Ed But They Generally Prefer Him As A Friend'.

I was the first one probably in writing to use a nickname, Mickey, and it stuck.

A nickname is the heaviest stone that the devil can throw at a man.

A nickname may be the best record of a success. That's what I call putting the face of a joke upon the body of a truth.
