“I have a little bit of that gamer spirit in me. I just don’t have the time to be a gamer. But in another life, I would be one.”

We live in a strange time but this is our time.

How I can’t find a physical copy to my own shit.

I’m here to spread a message of hope. Follow your heart. Don’t follow what you’ve been told you’re supposed to do.

People congratulate me. I just tell them God is good.

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.

The most important thing is to be a midfielder first, not scoring goals. You have to make the game, make an assist for the team, and if you can score, it’s a plus for the team.

I’d noticed him watching me for a year or so, especially when we’d play games where there was running or jumping.

I can only control what I do when I go compete.

Life is like a game of cards. The hand you are dealt is determinism; the way you play it is free will.

On the field, aggression can sometimes be a positive emotion. It boosts performance and can lift your game. But over the years, I have learnt that restrained aggression is a better animal. That way, you will conserve your energy and won’t spend yourself quickly.

I make my practices real hard because if a player is a quitter, I want him to quit in practice, not in a game.

I know what it takes to win. If I can sell them on what it takes to win, then we are not going to lose too many football games.

Football is about joy. It’s about dribbling. I favour every idea that makes the game beautiful. Every good idea has to last.
