“Keep doin’ what you’re doin’, fall in love with what you’re creating, and everything else will fall into place.”

I think everybody likes a person that stands up for themselves. Nobody likes a punk or a coward.

I make a mean cup of coffee, if you give me the right ingredients.

I wish the world would become what God wanted it to be in the first place, before we tampered with it.

Sometimes, when you want to laugh, reality steps in.

Our household is built on love and respect. And we don’t really let negative vibes stay too long. It’s worked out. I got a great family, great kids.

I’m always open, and will criticize myself, too. And I just think being that honest with everybody puts you in a different space than somebody who’s just shooting venom at a certain group or a certain amount of individuals.

You can do anything in the world if you say “Hey man, don’t blame me, the devil made me do it. It’s an easy way to escape responsibility.”

Our records, if you have a dark sense of humor, were funny, but our records weren’t about comedy. They were about protests, fantasy, confrontation and all that.

You never get tired of seeing yourself on TV. It’s always extra cool… always a treat.

I was ready to get out of the box and play something a little different than what everybody has seen.

When I was six, God was a white man with a big beard riding on a white cloud. That’s the image television pumps.

Any time there’s racism somewhere in sports, we should get it out of there because sports is a place where everything’s supposed to be fair.

I think, to me, reality is better than being fake.

I never was in the Nation of Islam… I mean, what I call myself is a natural Muslim, ’cause it’s just me and God.

You want the industry to finally admit that you’re good. But I’m still good without their admission.

I always was like, “Yo, I’m here, I might as well get what I could take.”

Creativity is born from you.

Some kisses heal scars some create them.

It is an act of courage every time you create. Stay brave.

Love was created for so many reasons and you will always be one of them.

If creativity calls, you answer. Otherwise, the words are lost to you forever.

Even if the people who made you happy, leave, don’t let that stop you from creating your own sunshine.

Life is about building memories, creating energy, and helping people.

Focus on the ENERGY you create in this world.
