I'm just gonna be honest and if I feel something, I'm just gonna say it! Once I started doing that, my music just got better.

I'm just gonna do my own kinda swag of kinda dumbing something down and speaking some knowledge.

I'm from a middle class family. I didn't grow-up rich, but I didn't grow-up poor. Each guy has to stick to his own story.

I'm really just tryna bring it home for my city, I'm trying so hard to be the best I can be on every record I do, every feature I do and every different city I go to.

Its just tryna impress the world and then realizing that, that doesn't even matter really, you gotta impress yourself.

My first official music video for "Who Am I." It's getting crazy traffic and a lot of hype. I got sponsored by a company called MATIX because of it.

Look at somebody like Drake, the guy is one of the most vulnerable. He says exactly what's on his mind and that's why I respect him.

I think my music has a big message, and I think when people really get into it, it does help their life sometimes. It inspires me; it's my favorite part about my job.

I'm kinda like a needle in a haystack right now cause I haven't blown up yet.

I think the new school is dope. Artists like Kid Cudi, The Cool Kids, Drake and Wale can come out of middle class homes and be on tracks with people like Jay-Z, who's from the hood and the street.

Me, personally, I'm just happy. I have a great mother. I have two great sisters. I couldn't ask for more. I'm healthy. I do what I love.

Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either.

Our whole life is startlingly moral. There is never an instant's truce between virtue and vice.

Your needs are overwhelming? You can’t depend on yourself or others to meet them? You don’t even know what they are? Then need nothing.

Whenever I read the newspaper, I say to myself, 'At least my wife loves me.'

Singing someone else's songs is like keeping your clothes on.

I was not influenced by composers as much as by natural objects and physical phenomena.

Some people claim that marriage interferes with romance. There's no doubt about it. Anytime you have a romance, your wife is bound to interfere.

Step off the road. Build yourself a brand new path.

Let me give you some advice: make friends with a millionaire when he's a friendless sixth-grader.

It is very important that you express your idealism actively, to what ever extent you can, for this increases your sense of worth and power.
