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 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.

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.

My good friend Josh Bibby happens to be a pro skier and has used my music in 2 international ski films.

The myth-making about Appomattox started from the moment Lee left the courthouse on his horse to travel to Richmond.

Be active! Take on responsibility! Work for the things you believe in. If you do not, you are surrendering your fate to others.

If one studies too zealously, one easily loses his pants.

No matter how far we travel, the memories will follow in the baggage car.

Joy is a natural way of being.

The vast majority of people in any organization, even quite high up, have got no idea who the real masters are.

People-to-people charity is more efficient, less costly, more human and compassionate, and more likely to inspire change and self-sufficiency in the beneficiary.

There are those fortunate hours when the world consents to be made into a poem.

Now you can't even carry a nail clipper on a plane. Are they afraid you're going to go..."All right! Give me the plane or the b*tch loses her cuticle." ?

An easy thing, O Power Divine, To thank thee for these gifts of Thine, For summer's sunshine, winter's snow, For hearts that kindle thoughts that glow.
