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

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 [true] intellectual is he who does not let harm done to others and nor let any harm done to even one's own self.

It takes strength and courage to admit the truth.

...if you stood at the other end of the universe seeking resolution you would just end up feeling like an idiot for trying.

This was one of those times that a pint just wouldn't cut it.

If you want to sail your ship in a different direction, you must turn one degree at a time.

I'm a dude, obviously, and when I'm not in a relationship, I don't do laundry until I want to. But if I live with a girl, you have to do it when she wants to or when we want to, which sucks.

Covert action should not be confused with missionary work.

Is there really anyone, besides Rudy Giuliani, who prefers the new Times Square?

During this earlier period of his activity Voltaire seems to have been trying - half unconsciously, perhaps - to discover and to express the fundamental quality of his genius.

There is no sin greater than ignorance.
