“I’m not that big, physically. I’m just big where it counts – I got a big heart!”

I don’t call my people fans, I call them believers, because they go above and beyond.

High ends, high spending. We just trying to end life on a high note.

I want people to feel like they can do anything.

I feel like I changed hip-hop.

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.

I am the first to be surprised and often terrified by the images that I see appear on my canvas.

All science would be superfluous if the outward appearance and the essence of things directly coincided.

Of all the animosities which have existed among mankind, those which are caused by a difference of sentiments in religion appear to be the most inveterate and distressing, and ought most to be deprecated.

For outward show is a wonderful perverter of the reason.

A language, like a species, when extinct, never – reappears.

Appearances matter – and remember to smile.

Laziness may appear attractive, but work gives satisfaction.

I dislike my fellow-mortals. Justice compels me to add that they appear for the most part to dislike me.
