“I’m not trying to say I accomplished nothing, I’m just trying to say that at this point in my life, I don’t want to look at what I’ve accomplished and hold it like it’s my trophy. I’ve got so much more to do; I don’t want to put that gold medal around my neck yet.”

There were a lot of days when I thought maybe this isn’t what I should be doing. There’ve been a lot of days where you get to the point where you’re like.

I’m going to line it up in seven days and seven nights. I’m going to document it, out the footage out, show people it’s not a fluke.

It’s not like I feel like I’ve accomplished nothing, I just have to forget about what I’ve accomplished and just accomplish more.

“I don’t know if I’ve got the will to even do this.” It’s the type of game that doesn’t let you walk away so that’s what happened, I just kept coming back to it until something really happened for me.

When I accomplish ten times what I’ve accomplished already, I’ll start thinking about that. But a better way to put it is I kind of forget about it. I do it and I forget about it. And I just work.

I’m just going to do music and when I feel like I’ve gotten enough music to put an album together then that’s when I’m going to do it.

I as an artist, as an individual, I have a certain affect on people.

God built the Earth in seven days and seven nights, that’s how I’m going to approach doing the album. So when it’s time for me to actually finish up the album and do final cuts of everything.

What you see and what you hear on YouTube and the News and all that, it’s not what it looks like, it’s not what it seems, it’s not what it is. Most of the time when you look at somebody off of an image they’ve built, it’s the exact reversal of whatever that image is.

I spent so much time focusing on haters that I forgot about the people that actually love me. And that’s who I’m focused on this time around: the people that want to listen. The people that don’t want to listen, don’t listen. This is for the people that want to.

Economics is a very difficult subject. I’ve compared it to trying to learn how to repair a car when the engine is running.

Monica Langley has a great piece in The Wall Street Journal about how they’re trying to create different kinds of moments for Donald Trump, as opposed to just him shouting at rallies.

I try to tell a story musically in a song.

I’m working all the time. When I’m home I try to split my time evenly between resting and preparing for another tour, and writing stuff.

By citing the UN Charter I indicate that the defensive party to the conflict should use only proportionate force.

[Voters] are trying to make up their mind on who has a better plan for the economy, whose presidency would more positively impact my life?

You have to try, you have to try everything you can.

Now I’m trying to let what’s in there come out and acknowledge where I come from. I’m trying to make it more. ..true.
