“I can’t change the world until I change myself first.”

I like to let things breathe.

The Universe energy doesn’t lie.

I always felt like there was a certain standard of music that I had to do from the beginning, even when I didn’t have the recognition that I have now.

We look so much on color that we forget about the soul.

Color don’t tell if people Black. It’s the soul.

I learned, when I look in the mirror and tell my story, that I should be myself and not peep whatever everybody is doing.

I’m constantly thinking.

I can’t help the way you was born if you was gay.

People are used to music that justifies street culture but something that’s not touched on is why these kids act the way they act, live the way they live.

I don’t vote. I don’t do no voting.

My name, is my name. Ask me again, i’ll tell you the same.

I’ve been called a recluse. There’s definitely truth in that. I like to spend time alone.

Imperfections is a wonderful blessing.

So next time you feel like your world is about to end, I hope you studied because He’s testing your faith again.

Life will put many red lights in front of you, but sometimes we must push on the gas and trust god.

I don’t really believe in the type of pressure that people are wanting to put on the type of music that I make.

I was very much into buying contemporary art, but I’ve just decided I want to get rid of it all. Not that it’s not great art, but all of a sudden my mood has changed, and I want to go back to seventeenth- and eighteenth-century masters.

People always say I’m the Beatle who changed the most, but really that’s what I see life is about… you have to change.

Try to realize it’s all within yourself no one else can make you change, and to see you’re only very small and life flows on within you and without you.

I like change and I like contrast.

Education is only like good culture,–it changes the size, but not the sort.

After I changed the string we picked up right where we left off – and punched back in at the same time. I don’t know if this has ever been done before. The engineer sort of looked at us weird, but we got it on the first take.

Music can always be a life-changing experience, for musicians and fans, or at least life-affecting, but it depends on to what degree.

Violence has never prospered, you can’t remake the world in a day. Anyone who promises to change everything for you all at once is either a fool or a rogue!
