“It’s cool when people know you more, but I like people to treat me regular when they see me. I take pictures. I don’t really be big on people looking at me.”

I think it’s way harder when you have success, ’cause people tend to not treat you the same or look at you the same because they see the success or the money you make.

Everybody think they’re famous when they get 100,000 followers on Instagram and 5,000 on Twitter.

I don’t want to just be fully rapping my whole life.

I work hard. I focus on myself and putting food on my dinner table before anything else. I don’t worry about other artists. Worrying about the next person in a negative way is the wrong way to be.

When you do 10 interviews in one day, and 10 different sources want to talk to you, that means you’re doing good. I think about that every day.

I don’t know what type of music my son will want. By the time he starts listening to music, really, at like 15, 16, I’ll probably have 10 albums out by that time.

Work harder than anybody you’ve ever seen. That’s what I believe.

Management plays a role just keeping everything in place for you and making sure everything’s going right.

The money turned me into a monster.

Just build your brand from day one, man. Your brand is your name, basically. A lot of people don’t know that they need to build their brand, your brand is what keeps you moving.

If you don’t have your friends and your family, what do you really have? You can have all the money in the world, but with no friends and no family, it’s no good.

I’ve been betrayed a lot of times in life. I think everybody’s been.

I’m not gone remix a record I don’t got no love for.

I don’t think I would change really anything about rap. Rap don’t have no limits to it, and I like it like that.

I always wanted to be one of the hottest rappers.

One night I prayed to God, I asked could he please remove my enemies from my life, and before you knew it I started losing friends.

From the depths of the West of Europe, a young child will be born of poor people, he who by his tongue will seduce a great troop; his fame will increase towards the realm of the East.

The most beautiful people are those who are truly themselves, and that’s what I want to show my fans.

Sensible people take precautions against possible disasters, and of course one man’s idea of precaution is another man’s silly worry.

I think it’s quite difficult to understand what kind of life a writer leads. They might be millionaires, or they might be starving people.

It’s just people should realize that the celebrity aspect of being an actor is very rarely enjoyable for people like me who would always rather go unnoticed and disappear into the crowd.

The melancholy thing about the world is that it is full of stupid people; and the world is run for the benefit of the stupid and common.

You may never get to touch the Master, but you can tickle his creatures.

How potent is the fancy! People are so impressionable, they can die of imagination.
