“People will talk about you when you’re down and out, and people will talk about you when you’re successful. You choose what matters to you.”

Don’t bend over backwards for people who don’t want you to move forward.

My happiness is my responsibility.

Smile baby. You’re alive. You’ve got options.

Be loyal to those loyal to you.

A man’s ego is just as sensitive as a woman’s self-esteem.

There are times when god speaks. You might not hear the words, but you’ll see. You’ll see.

I’m human. I’m spiritual, God-fearing, an intellectual AND I’m hyphy. I’m also growing and wrong a lot. I ain’t afraid to admit it.

You can’t expect love to be perfect when people aren’t.

There are some people you’ve just got to love from a distance.

How you take your wins is just as important as how you take your losses.

Music and writing are my passions and I feel hella blessed to share them with you all.

Sometimes you’ve got to choose your peace over your loved ones.

Stripping down to the barest form of yourself and loving it from the base up can take time.

Drama rarely follows people who mind their business.

I pray I get to see the world before I leave the world.

I love who you are. I love who you ain’t.

Always choose love- you may not be loved in return – love may still find you.

First of all, I choose the great roles, and if none of these come, I choose the mediocre ones, and if they don’t come, I choose the ones that pay the rent.

If you had asked me back in grade school what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would have said my first choice was an actor, but if I couldn’t be that, I’d want to be a superhero.

Being male is a matter of birth. Being a man is a matter of age. But being a Gentleman is a matter of choice.

Love is a choice our heart makes without our permission.

Leave bands, go back to obscurity if I choose to, without a great sense of loss of security because it’s all been based on the fact that I did it on my own or was doing, enjoying doing it on my own in the first place.

Your happiness is entirely up to you.

I prefer to remake flops. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels was a remake of a flop, and The Quiet American is a remake of a flop.
