I want to give people the message and let them feel my emotion behind it.

You just gotta be yourself. Like be yourself and if it works out for you, grind hard. Don't get lost in it. And have fun.

You get comparisons with anything in life. I think that if you [are] taking the time out to compare me to somebody, then I must be doing something right.

I want my foundation built, and I want to be strong enough to deal with everything coming my way.

I'm putting my emotion out on stage so people can actually feel me. If you feel somebody's art and you see them perform it and they aren't feeling it, that's one of the first things in the game.

There's a lot of people out there that's starting to sound like me so I guess I'm doing something right.

I never pay attention, to no numbers, no views, comments ... I just try to keep on going, keep on living my life so I can continue to put out music that's real.

I like it when girls are screaming for me. It makes me feel really player-like. I enjoy being out there, delivering my songs, and putting a face to the music.

I don't know what it means to be a star because I don't really look at myself like a star. I look at myself as a regular person, just like everybody else. I just love what I do.

A fan can only go as far as you let them. I've seen crazy things like girls having me autograph their body and then they go get it tattooed. I guess that's too far, but it's cool with me.

I'm a private person so wasn't the type of person who could talk to people and be like this is going on at home, I want this shirt, this girl don't like me, etc. I just rap about it!

The truth is that most of life will unfold in accordance with forces far outside your control, regardless of what your mind says about it.

Patience to faith is like the head to the body. The person who has no patience has not faith.

The greatest mistake any man ever made is to suppose that the good things of the world are not worth the winning.

The word which can never die on this earth, for it is the heart of it and the meaning and the glory. The sacred word: EGO.

You can be up to your boobies in white satin, with gardenias in your hair and no sugar cane for miles, but you can still be working on a plantation.

Any other foundation will fail, but Christ is a sure and steady rock to build your life on.

Give unto us this day the daily manna Without which, in this desert where we dwell, He must go backward who would most advance.

My comedy is romanticized laziness.

Once introduced discontinuity, once challenge any of the properties of visual space, and as they flow from each other, the whole conceptual framework collapses.

The main thing to know about me is that I'm a champion of entrepreneurs and the startups they build. They are my rock stars. If in doubt, I side with them, and that's clear from my writing.
