“I’ve always believed in self, I’ve always believed that as long as I believe, nothing else matters. I just put that type of motivation and that type of energy into my music, and I’ve always had confidence in my music as well.”

I take pride in my music, I feel like it actually does something for people personally, in their personal lives, so it’s real music and it helps people get through things like I was able to get through things.

In order to perfect your craft, you’ve gotta go hard, you’ve gotta go overtime.

Stay focused. You gotta believe in yourself. I think that’s the biggest thing I’ve been able to do throughout my whole career, even before I actually had a big career in this industry.

It’s a lot of people that’s tried to stop my grind, there’s been a lot of hate, but even more love.

I define “grindin'” as just nonstop work! Nonstop work, nonstop progress. Can’t sleep during that grind – I mean, you get a little bit of it, but if you’re progressin’ at every hour, every second, you are grindin’.

That Scarface movie is just ruthless! His state of mind was like, “Yo, we’re gonna get it – we’re gonna get this money, we’re gonna get this, get that.”

Even though I’m out there as an artist, I continue droppin’ mixtapes, I continue doin’ this and continue showin’ DJs love personally. That’s why I continue doin’ a lot of things other artists don’t do.

What I wanted with that Ruthless state of mind,: just to show people who I am as a person and why I do what I do, and why I go as hard as I do go.

We’ve got a lot of people that support, but The Runners are definitely one of my favorites.

I wanted people to feel me as a person. I do this music for the people, man, so at the end of the day I feel like, [given] our state of mind and the state our economy is in

What I love about doing my concerts is always feeding off the fans and their energy.

We’re gonna keep on doin’ what we’re doin’, and we’re gonna get it by all means. That’s just what “ruthless” means to me. Everybody’s got their own definition, but I’m ruthless with this music.

I want certain things out of life. I want my grand kids, my kids’ kids, being able to inherit what I’ve worked so hard to build.

Due to success I started losing friends.

We’ve got goals we’re trying to reach, and “Overtime” is the only way to do it, and “Champion” is the only thing we’re tryin’ to be.

Not only my favorite producers, but those are actually brothers, they’re part of our We The Best family. To me, they’re the biggest guys out, and the music they produce and the records they put out are phenomenal records.

The bandage will remain on the eyes of Justice as long as the Capitalist has the cut, shuffle, and deal.

We wanted to do a sequel with Jim and Jeff. They said that the word was that Jim didn’t want to do any sequels. We approached him and he said he would do it, but not until next year. New Line said it was too long to wait.

Decide to be your best. In the long run the world is going to want and have the best and that might as well be you.

When I got to Saturday Night Live, it was a lot like going from pre-school to Harvard, and it took a long time to figure stuff out.

Women have a right, I believe, to do whatever they want as long as they don’t break the law.

Romney-Ryan is likely the best matched ‘team’ that has been on a national ticket in a very long time.

After being out so long, I was more anxious to pitch than anything, just ready to get back into things.

I’d rather make music than tour.
