“Just because you are famous and rich doesn’t make you successful.”

For every 1 fan I have 20 haters, once I can reach 1000 haters for 1 fan, I know I’ve made it.

When I meet a person that tells me they stopped hooping for no reason, I thank them for opening my door and making it easier.

Work hard until hard work isn’t work at all.

Hating is a full time job with no benefits, only an acquired type can do it. I thank God I didnt meet the qualifications.

Many things that I have accomplished in my life were not because I knew they would make me happy, but because it made my enemies unhappy.

The power of self goes beyond words. Self confidence, self improvement, self esteem, self enhancement, self love … Get yourself right first!

Opportunity doesn’t knock on my door, I go and break its door down.

Saving time = wasting time.

Failure does not exist. Once you hit the construction zone road blocks, follow the detour signs to get back to ur original path.

There is no such thing as a dumb question but there is such a thing as a dumb person asking a question.

Aim at perfection and nothing less. Need the best. Deserve the best. Those who say it’s not possible are the people who decided to settle.

It’s so ironic that life is all about love, yet we live most of it either searching, never finding, or messing it up.

True strength is shown by the person who remains humble, quiet, & positive throughout all adversity and maintains their path towards success.

Hustle … Your excuses are someone else’s motivation.

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes you won’t be on the beneficial end of it but either way it’s a blessing in disguise.

If you don’t live life by fully enjoying it and opening your heart, your just not living.

Memory is just as much of an instrument as anything else in music.

If you just do 50 to 60 shows a year, it’s not that much time away from home.

“It’s not where you got it from, it’s where you take it.” To me, that’s just an integral part of why I even bother making music.

Just try to do music that you like and you are proud of and not just whatever you think it’s going to take to get you on the radio.

Now it’s just sharp elbows, and instead of having a caucus where you sit down and say, ‘What are you doing for your country?’ you sit figuring out how to screw the other side.

It is a world in which every word spoken speaks just to that moment, every glance given has only one meaning, each touch has no past or no future, each kiss is a kiss of immediacy.

Just look at it. No wonder so many artists have come here and called it home. Brother.

It’s basically the same, just darker.
