“There may be some difficulties during a period of adjustment. Specifically, picking up their life again and making their own truly independent decisions.”

I may not be a role model, but I most definitely could be motivation for a lot of people in the hoods.

I won’t sing to you like Chris and Ne-Yo, but I’m fresher than a stick of deo.

I like to write music for fun. That’s my hustle, my grind, my means of stayin’ alive, and it’s also my recreation, too.

I didn’t understand that you could go to jail for the rest of your life for selling cocaine. I thought life sentences were for murderers. I didn’t know that you could get it for supplying something to someone that they asked you for.

You know how in football, guys throw defenses, and the defense throws you a look, but the look is not really what it is – it’s only made to fool you. It’s the same thing with drugs. The drug is only an illusion to draw you in.

All I ever wanted was to make scrilla Have a recording session with J Dilla.

You gotta judge a man by his principles.

He knockin’ on the door, let the devil in.

These haters can’t hold me back.

Being dead broke is the Root of all Evil.

I’m very versatile and there’s nothing I really regret in my life. I’m excited with who I am and I’m just going to keep riding the wave.

Forget yesterday, live for today. Tomorrow will take care of itself.

I ain’t makin’ music for the media. I make music for the people in the streets – that want a street level of entertainment. I’m makin’ music because I have the streets to feed.

Even before making music I was always someone that you had to get to know, at school or elementary. I walked the hallways. I would take your pizza

I decided to do something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time – go get a chef and a nutritionist – and I brought them on board.

I strongly believe that appearance is important, as it’s the first impression you get, but that is definitely not the deciding factor.

Wait, I’m deciding to be my own individual self. And it looks nothing like what anyone else is doing.

My approach to acting now is so different — I’m fearless because I have nothing to lose. Before [children] my identity was wrapped up in every decision — now, I don’t care.

Even if we all want you here, you don’t belong until you decide you do.

What the hell kind of man decides to dress up as a bat and run around the city? There’s got to be something a little bit loose in there.

When deciding between two competing theories, always go with the one that doesn’t involve a magic spell.

Think 100 times before you take a decision, But once that decision is taken, stand by it as one man.
