“If you wait for tomorrow to follow your dreams, by the time that you get there they’re gone.”

When you put your life in a good place, good things follow.

I’m an old fashioned joint smoker ya know.

I didn’t come here and I ain’t leavin’.

Sadly, there are more wild horses in holding pens than in the wild.

You’ll never get ahead by blaming your problems on other people.

When songs fall from the sky, all I can do is catch them before they hit the ground.

Heard you told him that you’d love him ’til the end of time. Now that’s the same thing that you told me.

What has changed is that nothing has changed. That’s what has made me more unhappy than everything else.

You can’t make a record if you ain’t got nothin’ to say.

I think people need to be educated to the fact that marijuana is not a drug. Marijuana is an herb and a flower. God put it here. If He put it here and He wants it to grow, what gives the government the right to say that God is wrong?

Marijuana is like sex: If I don’t do it every day I get a headache.

I’m crazy for trying, crazy for crying, and I’m crazy for loving you.

But if you think of all the people who don’t like me, just think of all the millions who’ve never heard of me!

I don’t think any person has any special knowledge about what God has planned for me and you any more than me and you do.

Love is like a dying ember, only memories remain.

If you start out looking at somebody, wondering whether he’s good or bad, I think you’re starting out in the wrong direction. I think we’re all good and we’re all bad.

Dreams can grow from nightmares.

There’s such a wealth of arts and styles within the guitar… flamenco, jazz, rock, blues. You name it, it’s there. In the early days my dream was to fuse all those styles. Now composing has become just as important.

My dream job growing up was always to be an artist. It wasn’t even that I would be a rapper or singer; I just knew I would be a public figure.

Whatever you do in life, don’t give up on your own dreams.

Nothing can happen if it’s not first a dream. If you have someone with a dream, if you have a motivated person with a goal and a vision, if you have someone that never gives up, who has great hope, Anything can happen.

There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why? I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?

Be a dreamer. If you don’t know how to dream, you’re dead.

My biggest dream to connect people through music has come true. In a world where there are enough reasons to separate us, the Oscars have unified us.
