“Lil Wayne would probably be a big musical inspiration for me, because growing up I was just the biggest Wayne fan and being able to be signed to him and watch his whole journey to the peak of his career is great.”

Just to stay focused on my path and not the path that other people or media want to put me in. Just to stay focused on my vision, because I put out what I want people to know about me. Everything else is what the media puts out.

All the girls look good in college; I mean they’re young, they’re ready, they’re single, they just wanna have fun.

I think whenever you’re around Kanye West, you gotta take notes. The advice is taking notes, because everything he does and everything he says is very detailed and very up front. He’s always one hundred what he says.

I’ma make you feel like a virgin again.

Hater n-ggas marry hater b-tches and have hater kids.

I think we all do our own thing and we all have our own talents, but it’s good to know that you have a family tree of success so if you need the help on your journey to success then you can look around and see it around you.

Life is about strategy not tragedy. Make the best one.

It’s hard to forget someone whos given so much to remember.

I know what people want. I know what everybody wants – I know what the streets want, I know what the suburbs want, I know what corporate people want. I know what-all type of music these people listen to.

I ain’t never been hater. I ain’t got no time.

I turned down a lot of reality shows in the past, but MTV, back in the day, was just the coolest with Cribs to Pimp My Ride.

I’ve always been into dressing and being stylish because I feel like that’s where I gained a lot of my confidence and swag as a rapper, so fashion goes hand-in-hand with music to me.

Just because I’m a younger artist doesn’t mean I can’t work with a veteran and vice versa.

We look up for inspiration, down for desperation, right and left for information.

Tattoos, for me, are like a timeline of my life. I could look at a certain tattoo, and it reminds of me of a certain time in my life and why I got that tattoo.

You can’t hate/love others without loving/hating yourself first.

I hope that having my life and having an education will lengthen my career.

Only you can control your future.

I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

I just love a challenge, whether it’s a relationship, my career, clothing.

A career is wonderful, but you can’t curl up with it on a cold night.

My career should adapt to me. Fame is like a VIP pass wherever you want to go.

Look, whenever I hear or read I’m beautiful, I simply don’t understand it. I’m certainly not beautiful in any conventional way. I didn’t make my career on beauty.

The moment I used my adversity to my advantage, my career exploded.
