Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner.

Time goes on. So whatever you're going to do, do it. Do it now. Don't wait.

You learned the two greatest thing in life, never rat on your friends, and always keep your mouth shut.

Better to be king for a night than a schmuck for a lifetime.

When you love someone you gotta trust them, there's no other way. You gotta give them the key to everything that's yours. Otherwise, what's the point?

I never walk into a place I don't know how to walk out of.

If you don't go, you'll never know.

You'll have time to rest when you're dead.

You don't need words to express feelings.

Passion should always trump common sense.

I go to Paris, I go to London, I go to Rome, and I always say, 'There's no place like New York. It's the most exciting city in the world now. That's the way it is. That's it.'

Even the most powerful enemies who threaten or oppress God’s children will one day fall.

Perfection is not something you strive for. Perfection is in the eyes of the beholder. Perfection is a state of grace, of peace of serenity, a moment as fleeting as a smile.

The ground is holy, being even as it came from the Creator. Keep it, guard it, care for it, for it keeps men, guards men, cares for men. Destroy it and man is destroyed.

When I want to support a film starring actors I like, I purchase several tickets at the box office - even if I can't stay for the movie.

So ahead of my time even when i rhyme about the future I be reminiscing

I came into the music world in 1988 with a song called Ooh La La, that was like a breath of fresh air in Haitian music.

I grabbed a pair of glowing red legs.

I wish to confess my sins and I wish Christ to come into my life.

Who knows where I would be if I didn't come to L.A. I probably would have been locked up or dead.

I never want to listen to the songs in front of people close to me. There's an emotional honesty in that place where it's not earnest but it's vulnerable.
