“Party don’t stop. Only gets crazier when I touch down.”

Never start something to prove people wrong, Always start to prove yourself right.

Melody has a certain way that it projects back to you. It triggers certain nerves in your body and certain instincts that normally wouldn’t be triggered by a normal voice.

Whatever obstacle comes your way, you gotta be prepared to jump over it! And I think that’s what separates the legends from the regular artists. It’s all in how you manage that success, and how you deal with the controversy when it actually comes.

When I first heard hip-hop I thought it was rubbish because I didn’t understand the concept of people talking over music.

I just like music all the way around the board. I can’t stick to one thing – I’ve got to move around.

My ideas come when I least expect it, so I’ve always got to have a studio nearby or close by somewhere.

Living right brings the smile out of you!!

Whoever told you its not possible was lying! Keep going!

Two things that define SUCCESS In LIFE: – The Way You manage when you have nothing & way you behave when you have everything.

I always want to set myself a challenge by doing something no-one would expect me to do! But, having said that, I don’t feel as a musician you can steer too far away from what you normally do.

People will throw stones at you. Don’t throw them back. Collect them all and build an empire.

Misery is a choice. I chose happiness.

What I remember the most really was just running wild there. Barefooted, swimming in dirty lakes, selling fruit, picking mango trees, hoping not to get caught because they don’t take kindly to thieves in Africa.

A fool dreams of wealth. A wise man dreams of happiness!

It’s always the music first for me. But if the music isn’t selling, there isn’t gonna be no business. So you gotta make sure music is always the first priority.

Let’s break out of our past and concur the future

Be not lax in celebrating. Be not lazy in the festive service of God. Be ablaze with enthusiasm. Let us be an alive, burning offering before the altar of God.

We’re Americans. We celebrate success. We just don’t want the game to be rigged.

I celebrate the way I keep going. Its not always easy and yet, here I am.

Think of the magic of that foot, comparatively small, upon which your whole weight rests. It’s a miracle, and the dance is a celebration of that miracle.

Don’t ever hesitate to take to [God] whatever is on your heart. He already knows it anyway, but He doesn’t want you to bear its pain or celebrate its joy alone.

For a woman to be considered a celebrated beauty is not exactly a bad thing. I think we have to say that in all reality.

In life, one has a choice to take one of two paths: to wait for some special day-or to celebrate each special day.

On this day, when we’re celebrating our constitutional heritage, I urge you to be faithful to that heritage – to impose on our fellow citizens only the restrictions that are there in the Constitution, not invent new ones, not to invent the right because it’s a good idea.
