“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.”

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.

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.

Every time before I go on stage, I’m nervous.

One thing that I do want to say is Drake, as an artist, anybody has to respect him. He’s in the game, and he’s been in the game – he has longevity, even if he doesn’t write or writes his music.

History is Philosophy teaching by example.

The blossom cannot tell what becomes of its odor, and no person can tell what becomes of his or her influence and example.

On set I keep myself to myself; I’d rather the director speak up. I’m not gonna direct a younger actor. I think the power of example works best, actually.

Some of us can be examples about going ahead and growing, and some of us, unfortunately, don’t make it there, and end up being examples because they had to die. I hit rock bottom, but thank God my bottom wasn’t death.

To disarm a zealot, teach him truth by precept, and mildness by example.

Continue to speak out against all forms of injustice to yourselves and others, and you will set a mighty example for your children and for future generations.

People need role models. They need to see examples of people in peoples’ lives.

People need dramatic examples to shake them out of apathy and I can’t do that as Bruce Wayne. As a man I’m flesh and blood, I can be ignored, I can be destroyed, but as a symbol, as a symbol I can be incorruptible. I can be everlasting.
