“Nobody likes to fail. I want to succeed in everything I do, which isn’t much. But the things that I’m really passionate about, if I fail at those, if I’m not successful, what do I have?”

Trust is hard to come by. That’s why my circle is small and tight. I’m kind of funny about making new friends.

The moment I used my adversity to my advantage, my career exploded.

Had a dream, I was King, I woke up, still King.

Stop having a boring life.

I don’t care if you’re black, white, straight, bisexual, gay, lesbian, short, tall, fat, skinny, rich or poor. If you’re nice to me, I’ll be nice to you. Simple as that.

Don’t let them tell you ain’t beautiful.

It creeps me out sometimes to think of the person I was. I was a terrible person. I was mean to people.

If I had one wish I would ask for a big enough for the whole world to kiss.

If I’m not passionate about it, I can’t write it. I can’t fake it.

I bully myself cause I make me do what I put my mind to.

My family has never been there for me. They expect things because we’re blood.

Opportunity comes once in a lifetime.

If you get offended by my music, don’t listen to it.

Music is so therapeutic for me that if I can’t get it out, I start feeling bad about myself – a lot of self-loathing.

Throughout my career, I fed off the fuel of people not being able to understand me.

I need drama in my life to keep making music.

It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all – in which case, you fail by default.

I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.

A jug fills drop by drop.

Things in life will not always run smoothly. Sometimes we will be rising toward the heights—then all will seem to reverse itself and start downward.

A leader should have higher endurance and ability to accept and embrace failure.

A bend in the road is not the end of the road. Unless you fail to make the turn.

Many people are alive but don’t touch the miracle of being alive.

Each time you fail, you have eliminated another wrong option.
