“It’s evolution, man. Eventually the student becomes the teacher.”

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.

Definitely people like Kanye, inspired me to work hard. He’s somebody who I’ve seen put that grind in over the years.

Sometimes when you make good stuff and you love it, it gets outdated sometimes, because you’ve held on to it so long, you may not like it like you used to.

Patience is the ability to accept trouble, suffering, delay without getting angry or upset, I feel like if you can master patience you can master anything.

For me, personally, Detroit is a melting pot for everything. We get the best from the East Coast, West Coast and down South.

I really just appreciate good jewelry, clarity, gold. I think gold is made for kings and pharaohs – that’s what I am. That’s why I rock gold and, you know, stuff like that.

I feel like when you’re a celebrity, people dehumanize you and they forget you’re a real person.

I just always stay honest with myself. All my stuff isn’t boastful, but some of it is. But that’s just the music, the art.

Education is free. Freedoom of education shall be enjoyed under the condition fixed by law and under the supreme control of the state.

A child miseducated is a child lost.

Education is teaching our children to desire the right things.

We must remember that intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character-that is the goal of true education.

Black and Third World people are expected to educate white people as to our humanity.

Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today.

To educate a person in the mind but not in morals is to educate a menace to society.

And just because you have colleges and universities doesn’t mean you have education.
