“At the time me and X met, we weren’t homeless, but we were basically homeless.”

I’m one of the most humble people you’ll probably ever meet.

There’s always a ying-yang in life. With everybody. There’s evil in all of us. It’s just about how you balance out the evil and the good and having faith in yourself and how you carry yourself.

Adapt to yourself, bro. What I wanna say is don’t let nobody tell you that you should stay in your lane, bro.

A lot of us have energy that we can tap into. We sell ourselves short.

I have ‘Very Rare’ tatted on my face.

There’s really nobody who taught me how to dress.

I have a song called ‘Young Voorhees,’ because I like to call myself the new Jason Voorhees, and it samples ‘Courage the Cowardly Dog.’

I’m gonna keep Very Rare as a street brand. I wanna make a new clothing brand and group. It’s gonna be more… high fashion.

You have to be strong for people when you don’t wanna be strong. You have to be clean-showered, clean, clean-cut for people. You have to set an example.

I hate anything that seems like something that has been done.

Timbaland is my favorite producer.

I want to make people have fun again and show people that people can just rap and snap.

I don’t like being categorized as a rapper. I make music; I don’t just rap.

I used to really like Method Man and Redman for some reason. And Fabolous. A lot of New York rappers, too. Cam’ron. Jim Jones. Hurricane Chris.

I don’t want to ever be categorized. I want to be able to hit every genre.

I want to make theme-setting music, music that sets a theme without being cliche.

Maybe it’s time we got back to the basics of love.

Compassion opposes this order and is therefore best thought of as being in some way supernatural.

The basic premise of religion– that if you live a good life, things will go well for you– is wrong. Jesus was the most morally upright person who ever lived, yet He had a life filled with the experience of poverty, rejection, injustice, and even torture.

In this situation, it becomes vital that our own country orient its policies in consonance with this basic evolutionary condition rather than pursue a course blind to the reality that the colonial era is now past and the Asian peoples covet the right to shape their own free destiny.

The Way is basically perfect. It doesn’t require perfecting. The Way has no form or sound. It’s subtle and hard to perceive. It’s like when you drink water: you know how hot or cold it is, but you can’t tell others.

Part of our struggle is to make the international community understand that we are a poor country not because there is an insufficiency of resources and investment, but because we are deprived of the basic institutions and practices that make for good government.

The four basic ingredients for success are: you must have the will to want something; you must have the right kind of attitude.

The basic work of health professionals in general, and of psychotherapist s in particular, is to become full human beings and to inspire full human-beingness in other people who feel starved about their lives.
