“Being in the Midwest, you get the best of all worlds and add your own flavor to it.”

I work really hard – that doesn’t mean I deserve anything, but it’s really cool to see the positive reaction people give to something you worked so hard on. It’s one of the best feelings.

I’m not compromising myself in any way, I love just doing whatever I want and showing people it’s real.

I’m just a Westside lover, I leave females in my sheets and all my feelings in a rubber.

The higher the goal, the harder the climb, but after that the bigger the muscle the, smarter the mind.

I think it’s tacky to have chains that go all the way down to your crotch.

I feel like Im able to relate to all races of people because when you learn to tap into the raw emotion of a person, that goes past color.

To live in the moment is truly an art and is truly a talent, because when you live in the moment then you are truly the master of your whole life and you’ll have the best times.

I want to win some awards, sell more records – just do whatever I want.

I just wanted to do something that had some meaning that I can look back and be proud of, that my family can look back and be proud of.

I’m really vulnerable onstage because it’s just me. I’m not really trying to put up a front or act a certain way.

I just remember I wanted to make my own dynasty and not keep following trends. I wanted to make my own.

I never want to look back on life and say I wish I did something, and I don’t want anybody else to do that.

Instead of thinking about work the next day or thinking about what you have to do, if you live in the moment you’ll have some of the best times of your life.

From the inside looking out you can never see how it looks from the outside looking in.

Feeling more comfortable onstage is something I’ve worked on – it’s really about just being the artist I am.

Even though it’s tiring, I’m having the time of my life.

The best and only thing that one artist can do for another is to serve as an example and an inspiration.

The best way to counter-attack a hater is to make it blatantly obvious that their attack has had no impact on you.

I feel my best when I’m happy.

The best doctors in the world are Doctor Diet, Doctor Quiet, and Doctor Merryman.

As they are currently practiced, there is no common ground between science and religion… Although just as in hostage negotiations, it’s probably best to keep both sides talking to each other.

I’m a juvenile product of the working class, who’s best friend floats in the bottom of a glass.

Marriage functions best when both partners remain somewhat unmarried.

Now I am an outcast. I loathe my country. The best thing for me is a drunken sleep on the beach.
