“Some people focus more on sonics. Some people focus more on story. I focus on both sonics and story.”

I’m about being the best.

It’s not always easy to be transparent about your emotions and sometimes the music can get heavy.

My music definitely comes from a place of experience. Everything connects to a truth.

The Internet made fame wack and anonymity cool.

Of course awards matter.

There’s just some magic in truth and honesty and openness.

I believe that I’m one of the best in the world at what I do, and that’s all I’ve ever wanted to be.

We were poor. But my mom never accepted that. She worked hard to become a residential contractor – got her master’s with honors at the University of New Orleans. I used to go to every class with her. Her father was my paternal figure.

I’m in this business to be creative – I’ll even diminish it and say to be a content provider.

I’m big on what’s in good taste.

My TV ain’t HD, that’s too real

I respect Drake not only as a creative person but as a business mind as well. I think Drake’s important.

I don’t intend to stop making music.

I booked my first studio at like 12 or 13. Somewhere in that season of my life, singing along with the radio became me wanting to be on radio.

I won’t touch on risky, because that’s subjective. People are just afraid of things too much. Afraid of things that don’t necessarily merit fear.

Those who are heartless, once cared too much.

There are people that love you. Stop focus on the ones that don’t.

I am completely focused on being strong, riding fast, and enjoying myself. With the new generation of riders, only the chronometer counts. I need to be faster than them on track.

Every night when I’m falling asleep, I say to myself, I am relaxed, energized, and focused. I am calm, enthusiastic, and productive.

An average person with average talents and average ambition can outstrip the most brilliant genius in our society; if that person has clear focused goals.

Vision is the ability to see God’s presence, to perceive God’s power, to focus on God’s plan in spite of the obstacles.

Kit up, pick your bat and focus on the next mission.

I have always been focused on my job. No profession allows you the luxury of being half-focused. If you’re not into it, you’re not there. And the film industry is all the more harsh in these cases, perhaps because it’s a business of the limelight.

If you focus on goals, you may hit goals – but that doesn’t guarantee growth. If you focus on growth, you will grow and always hit goals.
