I have no problem with thinking small. Sometimes you have to think small first in order to think big.

Young kids out here see what's on TV and feel like they can start rapping. They think rappers are rich and really have their own jets and Bentleys, but in lot of cases that stuff is rented.

I like so many different genres of music that I guess it would be hard for me to pick one person who inspires me when so many people inspire me to make good music.

It's a beautiful thing to build your own fan base and pay the bills knowing that you're staying true to your music at the end of the day. I look at life like this, the sky's the limit!

Half of the reason why people aren't able to succeed in life is because they hypnotize themselves into believing that they can't accomplish their goals, it's a mind game they play with themselves.

I would describe myself as a hard worker, very humble and focused on whatever it is that I put my mind to.

I'm really just concentrating on making good music, whether it's using a sample or doing an original track.

The only reason I started using samples was because people talked about me not sounding like Kanye or The Heatmakers.

I just look up to anyone who made music back then because you really had to be a musician. There were no samples or drum machines. Those people back in the day paved the way for people like me.

God is my spiritual guide. Half the music I come up with I really don't know where it comes from.

You can't have somebody guide you through everything - some things you have to learn on your own.

Wit is educated insolence.

I am wealth, I am abundance, I am Cosmic Ordering.

If you try to be everywhere at once, you won't be anywhere at all.

Each and every single one of you is beautiful. Believe in yourself!

I did a film a long time ago with a shaved head and I had the ugliest looking head in the world.

Once your reputation's done/ You can live a life of fun

The tucked-up sempstress walks with hasty strides, While streams run down her oil'd umbrella's sides.

I fear looking back and wishing I had done things I hadn't.

I've heard a lot of crack stories. I heard a RZA crack story, up close and personal, over a platter of 100 chicken wings that only him and his friend ate. It was a good day.

My dad doesn't get any of my jokes. He laughs at them, but he doesn't understand them. He's just laughing because people around him are laughing.
