“I’m independent. I use my own money. For everything.”

If Heaven is up, I’m going. I know I’m right in my heart. This world is not my home. This life will soon be gone, and, one day, I’ll spread my wings, as an angel, and fly away.

When it came to music growing up, it wasn’t just gospel and R&B. My uncle brought rock ‘n’ roll to me when I was younger, and I loved it. I was open to all music.

When you do music, you have no control who comes to your shows.

Cause I bring the heater. Love me cause I’m your leader.

Tech N9ne is worldwide, man, it’s the biggest thing ever to me and if it happens to blow as big as I expect, I won’t be able to go anywhere. That’s what I’m prepared to do, because my goal is to get my music to the world.

I will never slide, never fall, never fail.

I’m a worldly angel, meaning I’ve adjusted to the ways of the world, even though I am a child of God. I wouldn’t consider myself a Christian rapper, but if we were Christian rappers, we would kill.

I’m the ruler in my kingdom and my dark seat is hot. Step into my world and your heartbeat stop!

The object is to make beautiful music for people to have forever. Music that stays – not just becomes a ringtone. Longevity.

It’s not that I’m afraid of death, but afraid of the thought of my people laid to rest; They saying there is 6 million ways of death but not even one way to fade the stress.

Don’t depend too much on anyone.

I’ve also built my own business, and obviously it’s a brand that I’ve built and it’s wholly owned by me and something that certainly my experience observing him and working with him and for him has informed how I make business decisions around my brand. But it’s my company.

The real power behind whatever success I have now was something I found within myself – something that’s in all of us, I think, a little piece of God just waiting to be discovered.

If you’re paid before you walk on the court, what’s the point in playing as if your life depended on it?

A woman will always be dependent until she holds a purse of her own.

I need to do it for me and you need to do it for you- because we are reason enough all on our own.

An independant reality in the ordinary physical sense can neither be ascribed to the phenomenon nor to the agencies of observation.

Too late, I found you can’t wait to become perfect, you got to go out and fall down and get up with everybody else.
