“I feel I can really relate to a lot of young people.”

Instead of thinking about work the next day or thinking about what you have to do, if you live in the moment you’ll have some of the best times of your life.

From the inside looking out you can never see how it looks from the outside looking in.

Feeling more comfortable onstage is something I’ve worked on – it’s really about just being the artist I am.

Even though it’s tiring, I’m having the time of my life.

Definitely people like Kanye, inspired me to work hard. He’s somebody who I’ve seen put that grind in over the years.

Sometimes when you make good stuff and you love it, it gets outdated sometimes, because you’ve held on to it so long, you may not like it like you used to.

Patience is the ability to accept trouble, suffering, delay without getting angry or upset, I feel like if you can master patience you can master anything.

For me, personally, Detroit is a melting pot for everything. We get the best from the East Coast, West Coast and down South.

I really just appreciate good jewelry, clarity, gold. I think gold is made for kings and pharaohs – that’s what I am. That’s why I rock gold and, you know, stuff like that.

I feel like when you’re a celebrity, people dehumanize you and they forget you’re a real person.

I just always stay honest with myself. All my stuff isn’t boastful, but some of it is. But that’s just the music, the art.

As I put out more music, I really want to get to the point where people feel like my show is a must-see.

It’s evolution, man. Eventually the student becomes the teacher.

I’m not that big, physically. I’m just big where it counts – I got a big heart!

God made me in my beautiful form so I’m just trying to execute it.

Chains and stuff are nice, don’t get me wrong I love them and I wear chains, but I can do without it.

People magazine with a bag of sour cream and onion chips always makes be feel a bit trashy. But good trashy.

We have to reconceptualize and understand that the act of pursuing our dreams and being our full selves is what allows us to feel alive.

Choices will continually be necessary and — let us not forget — possible. Obedience to God is always possible. It is a deadly error to fall into the notion that when feelings are extremely strong we can do nothing but act on them.

I felt suicidal. I couldn’t stop crying. I remember thinking, wouldn’t it be great if the car crashed and I died?

One single act done with aridity of spirit is worth more than many done with feelings of devotion.

Feeling irritated, restless, afraid, and hopeless is a reminder to listen more carefully.

Apologizing makes me feel vulnerable. And strong. Expressing gratitude makes me feel vulnerable. And strong. Maybe there’s something to this vulnerability/strength connection, eh?

You should do whatever feels right in your deepest heart. Feel deep as consciousness, open as water, now, and feel how to live with a wide-open heart. Feel how to live as love without bondage.
