“I don’t like to think of it as being fired. Instead, I prefer to think of it as being on indefinite leave with a sabbatical flair.”

Some of us got grandparents that walked miles to work instead of riding bus, just to show the bus companies that they won’t tolerate racism.

We live in a strange time but this is our time.

How I can’t find a physical copy to my own shit.

I’m here to spread a message of hope. Follow your heart. Don’t follow what you’ve been told you’re supposed to do.

People congratulate me. I just tell them God is good.

I know Heaven is a mind state, I’ve been a couple times.

If you truly believe it, that’s step one. Step two, is, you know, the hard work that goes along with it.

As we speak I’m at peace, no longer scared to die.

The thing about being an artist today is you get to develop right in front of people’s eyes before you even put out an album.

If they don’t know your dreams, they can’t shoot them down.

Every time you go to sleep you look like you in Heaven.

Producing all my own songs and refusing to go to the hot producer. That’s the biggest risk I’ve taken so far.

I try to put all those positive things into a regular human character, which is myself.

I put a lot of pressure on myself. I think something’s not good enough, and I won’t stop until I feel like I’ve made it. I’m never satisfied.

Don’t let bridges you cross be bridges you burn.

Anything I do, I want to do it well.

Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.

In order to control myself I must first accept myself by going with and not against my nature.

I don’t think you should ever take life so serious that you forget to play.

There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart.

There is peace even in the storm

I sustain myself with the love of family.

Life is what you make it. Always has been, always will be.

Look at the sky. We are not alone. The whole universe is friendly to us and conspires only to give the best to those who dream and work.
