“Lose yourself in the music, the moment – you own it.”

Stop having a boring life.

I don’t care if you’re black, white, straight, bisexual, gay, lesbian, short, tall, fat, skinny, rich or poor. If you’re nice to me, I’ll be nice to you. Simple as that.

Don’t let them tell you ain’t beautiful.

It creeps me out sometimes to think of the person I was. I was a terrible person. I was mean to people.

If I had one wish I would ask for a big enough for the whole world to kiss.

If I’m not passionate about it, I can’t write it. I can’t fake it.

I bully myself cause I make me do what I put my mind to.

My family has never been there for me. They expect things because we’re blood.

Opportunity comes once in a lifetime.

If you get offended by my music, don’t listen to it.

Music is so therapeutic for me that if I can’t get it out, I start feeling bad about myself – a lot of self-loathing.

Throughout my career, I fed off the fuel of people not being able to understand me.

I need drama in my life to keep making music.

just can’t sit back and wallow, in my own sorrow, but I know one fact: I’ll be one tough act to follow.

I always felt that if I was going to do a movie, I wanted it to be authentic.

Set fire to the mic and ignite the crowd.

Fear is how you lose your life…a little bit at a time…What we give to fear, we take away from…faith.

My, how busy we become when we lose sight of how God loves us.

A heart given to God loses none of its natural tenderness; on the contrary, the more pure and divine it becomes, the more such tenderness increases.

It is unworthy of excellent men to lose hours like slaves in the labor of calculation which could be relegated to anyone else if machines were used.

He who has nothing to lose can afford all risks.

The greatest misfortune that can come to a human being is to lose his inner peace. No outer force can rob him of it. It is his own thoughts, his own actions, that rob him of it.

And when it feels too heavy to go on being you, lose a bit of yourself in me.

What if love has always been the quench and the fire? or perhaps all we need to lose to find all we need to have?
