Its just tryna impress the world and then realizing that, that doesn't even matter really, you gotta impress yourself.

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.

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.

Look at somebody like Drake, the guy is one of the most vulnerable. He says exactly what's on his mind and that's why I respect him.

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 kinda like a needle in a haystack right now cause I haven't blown up yet.

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.

When you share your moments of joy with friends, that memory lasts forever.

Hope, in anything but myself, is just way too dangerous right now…

Human beings *do* metamorphose. They change their identity constantly. However, each new identity thrives on the delusion that it was always in possession of the body it has just conquered.

Everything in life that we really accept undergoes a change. So suffering must become love. That is the mystery.

Sometimes to love is easy, but to accept love is hard.

I was on the cheerleading squad and drama and the choir, but I was friends with everybody. I was not a partier. I was too Type A and crazy about my grades, but I was still there at everything.

The healthiest companies are always characterized by organic talent development.

The important thing in strategy is to suppress the enemy's useful actions but allow his useless actions

When I started out, there were a lot of things I knew I couldn't do, and a lot of things I only found out I couldn't do by going and doing it. And no-one was watching, and nobody cared.

Every day is amazing, even when it's awful, because everything is for a reason. I know that this horrible thing that's happening today is going to bring something so amazing.
