I will act now. I will act now. I will act now.

Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.

Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.

Take the attitude of a student, never be too big to ask questions, never know too much to learn something new.

I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars.

Victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats.

You will achieve your grand dream, a day at a time, so set goals for each day.

Always seek out the seed of triumph in every adversity.

Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again.

I will not allow yesterday's success to lull me into today's complacency, for this is the great foundation of failure.

Treasure the love you receive above all. It will survive long after your good health has vanished.

Where no hope is left is left no fear.

I think, for one, we have to really accept that anger is a normal human emotion that can be a positive force for change.

Anyone in pursuit of art is responding to a desire to make visible that which is not, to offer the unknown self to others.

I am always learning, always discovering.

The best personal defense is an explosive counterattack.

But in my mind I've always been a solo artist- I've just been working with a lot of great people like Kanye and Alicia Keys and Jay-Z.

It's not like I didn't do anything for 10 years and chose a new profession. I've been on the ice a lot. I'm not an outsider.

Nothing's a joke with me. It just all comes out like one.

You need to face what you're running from

For something to be beautiful it doesn’t have to be pretty.
