Be true to yourself and as long as you can look back and be happy with what you've done stay that way.

I'm just the type of person that realizes that someone is always going to have something to say so I could care less about it.

Things happen and you live and you learn.

There are other jobs I do besides rap. I was considering going back to school so there have been a few things on my plate that I thought about doing during my time off.

I'm at a point where I let my mind go with flow of the music I'm making and it's not interrupted by me trying to please everybody.

Rap is purging itself from the things it didn't need and it's allowing the younger dudes to come up. With that being said you're always going to need people from that golden era.

You're always going to need those folks that introduce certain things to the next generation and I fit in that sense.

Life ain't complicated unless you complicate it.

Be mindful of everything going on around you and always be on point but don't be so on point that you lose that ability to be what it was that got you out there.

I could look in everyone's faces and see them reflecting on how much time has passed and all the things we went through.

When I did The Natural that album was done from the perspective of a kid from Queens that was 19-20 years old who doesn't know that much about the industry.

Staying out of the penalty box will really help.

A true gentleman makes demands upon himself but not upon others.

There is nothing more frightful than an active ignorance. [Ger., Es ist nichts schrecklicher als eine thatige Unwissenheit.]

I have had all the disadvantages required for success.

Look well into thyself; there is a source of strength which will always spring up if thou wilt always look.

Remember, every pro was first an amateur. Start your dream now!

I have my own charity organization in Berlin called Ruckenwind, which supports kids from - ya - not ideal backgrounds.

I am one of those people who quite enjoys responsibility.
