I need to start honing in on projects that I want to devote my time to and not put my energies into the unattainable ones.

The main thing I want to do is make people feel more connected and more active.

It's weird how people hate getting older.

For the last three years, I've been working on 'Bromst,' and that's all that encompassed my brain. And now that it's out, it will change the way that I think musically.

I've since become really good at overwhelming myself.

It was never the goal to be a solo performer. It was just something that made the most sense at the time.

You know, most people called rap stupid when it started, and it was one of the most innovative music forms of its time.

I wanted to start working on something that had a lasting effect.

If you've become a huge act and you're still doing the same music you wrote with your friends when you were making zero dollars, you're lazy.

I throw ideas out into the open when I really should just be writing them down in a journal.

I just wanted to make a record that wasn't escapism. Like, I didn't want to write another record that was devoid of meaningful content.

Just give me a comfortable couch, a dog, a good book, and a woman. Then if you can get the dog to go somewhere and read the book, I might have a little fun.

Wonder is the heaviest element on the periodic table. Even a tiny fleck of it stops time.

Life is a lot like jazz... it's best when you improvise.

Focus on the journey, not on arriving at a certain destination.

It isn't much of a book of quotations if I am not in it.

You will gain energy by meditating deeply, by speaking the truth, by learning to be still and by avoiding the crowd, most of the time, not all of the time.

Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it.

If I'm sick of me, I can only imagine how other people feel.

One needs to fully accept that surprises sometimes happen and complete control over outcome is not necessary or even desirable.

The greatest explorer of recent decades is not even human.
