I want to be remembered as an artist who was really passionate about his work. And as an inspiration. I do what I do to inspire people.

I'm married, I have three children, I never hit my wife.

People genuinely happy in their choices seem less often tempted to force them on other people than those who feel martyred and broken by their lives.

Half the hoes hate, half them love me. The ones that hate me only hate me cuz they ain't [expletive] me.

Broke with nothing to live for and damn ready to die young. I'm the shadow behind the gun, look what I've become.

As far as religion goes, I feel like everyone should have their own one-on-one with God.

I feel like unforgiveness, bitterness and resentment, it blocks the flows of God's blessings in life.

Lazy people tend not to take chances, but express themselves by tearing down other's work.

Don't hang out in your old neighborhood with your new cars and flash it to guys who don't have that. The only thing you're doing is making 'em hate.

I've always been a spiritual person who believed in a Higher Power. So, I've always had my 1-on-1 with God, even if I wasn't much of a religious person.

Every artist seems to me to have the job of bearing witness to the world we live in. To some extent I think of all of us as artists, because we have voices and we are each of us unique.

Spread sunshine and inspiration.

I like life. It's something to do. Somewhere on this globe every 10 seconds there is a woman giving birth to a child. She must be found and stopped.

I think it is important for Europe to understand that even though I am president and George Bush is not president, Al Qaeda is still a threat.

Told her she was beautiful. Didn't give up when she didn't believe me.

Money in the hands of one or two men is like a dungheap in a barnyard. So long as it lies in a mass, it does no good; but, if it is only spread out evenly on the land, everything will grow.

All morons hate it when you call them a moron.

All things of the world are born of being; being is born of nonbeing.

I'm not an equipment nut. I tend to use whatever's at hand. I have several cameras, of course, but I'm not emotional about any of them

I applied to be an astronaut four times. I was rejected three times before I was accepted. So, it's about that, not - following your dream and not giving up.

Today, take a break from your ego and don't take yourself too seriously. Enjoy your Spirit and laugh!
