“I’m the type of person to put myself in everybody else’s shoes.”

We need money. We need hits. Hits bring money, money brings power, power brings fame, fame change the game.

Fuck it I’m mad.

I am always with London On Da Track, Wheezy, 808 Mafia Mike Will Made It, Ricky Racks.

Gucci Mane is my brother, Birdman also, we’re working together but it is a form of brotherhood. We’re friends but there is no need to contract. In a sense, I’m signed on their labels, but there is no lawyer, no contract.

I repeat it until it works. It is important to record, otherwise, you lose ideas. That’s why I never stay away from the studio, I always have something to ask.

When it comes to swag, there’s no gender involved.

I know, every time I get somewhere, it’ll be strange. But if I understand correctly, I also have fans here and it reassures me.

All those who came out of my neighborhood before me. Beyond those you see on TV, the most important people are those who are close to you because they share the same reality.

I just put anything on my back. I take what I have on hand.

It was stressful to live as a child in a Sylvian Hills. It’s always been complicated, honestly… I do not really want to tell you, actually. It bothers me that you want me to tell this.

I feel close to Kanye West. We’re friends, this is not just a working relationship.

Feeling rich this week

This is the industry that wants music, the rap industry. You have to be on deck all the time, but you do not have the time to do the album. It is an energy; it must be present in everyday life.

For a long time, I heard rap without paying attention, but it is still a way of life, even when you’re a kid.

The same image that I have of all the countries where I am supposed to go: it’s far, it’s different, it will be necessarily complicated, It’s another part of the world for me coming from the United States.

When you see them be successful, however small, you say to yourself, wow. And everything becomes possible. Never denigrate, to say we will not succeed.

You’re an intelligent person of great moral character who has taken a very courageous stand. I’m an intelligent person with no moral character at all, so I’m in an ideal position to appreciate it.

Habits change into character.

In our play we reveal what kind of people we are.

Only he who believes is obedient, and only he who is obedient believes.

The only justification for ever looking down on somebody is to pick them up.

For nations, history plays the role that character confers on human beings.

And Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values, like you work hard for what you want in life. That your word is your bond; that you do what you say you’re going to do. That you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don’t know them and even if you don’t agree with them.

It is part of a good man to do great and noble deeds, though he risks everything.
