“For a few minutes you made me feel as if I actually meant something to someone.”

I know Heaven is a mind state, I’ve been a couple times.

If you truly believe it, that’s step one. Step two, is, you know, the hard work that goes along with it.

As we speak I’m at peace, no longer scared to die.

The thing about being an artist today is you get to develop right in front of people’s eyes before you even put out an album.

If they don’t know your dreams, they can’t shoot them down.

Every time you go to sleep you look like you in Heaven.

Producing all my own songs and refusing to go to the hot producer. That’s the biggest risk I’ve taken so far.

I try to put all those positive things into a regular human character, which is myself.

I put a lot of pressure on myself. I think something’s not good enough, and I won’t stop until I feel like I’ve made it. I’m never satisfied.

Don’t let bridges you cross be bridges you burn.

Anything I do, I want to do it well.

It’s no coincidence that all the greatest rappers – whoever you put in your top five – I guarantee you they are great storytellers.

Time will tell who is on my side.

Tupac was just so passionate about what he believes in and not afraid to say anything.

In this life ain’t no happy endings. Only pure beginnings followed by years of sinning and fake repentance.

Catch me, I’ve fallen in love for the first time.

You just feel a little odd when you don’t get your kind of food. Fortunately, there are Indian restaurants all over the world.

I think of love, and you, and my heart grows full and warm, and my breath stands still. I can feel a sunshine stealing into my soul and making it all summer, and every thorn, a rose.

You can’t do anything good that you don’t feel in your heart.

I feel like I’ve been fighting in music and creating new ways and new opportunities to make things work even when people thought it wouldn’t.

I have a feeling that inside you somewhere, there’s somebody nobody knows about.

The most gentle people in the world are macho males, people who are confident in their masculinity and have a feeling of well-being in themselves. They don’t have to kick in doors, mistreat women, or make fun of gays.

The biggest disease this day and age is that of people feeling unloved.

I don’t want to be married to someone who feels inferior to my success or because I make more money than he does.
