I knew about the music. I got that part but I wanted to know the business, I wanted to know about royalties, how people got paid, producers and stuff like that so I read all those books like twice.

Got a house on the hill, cost a couple of mill, Juicy J got bank like Uncle Phil.

I never stopped grinding. I never stopped hustling. I never stopped working. I just kept moving. It has nothing to do with the money or anything like that. It's just that I love music.

You gotta live life. You gotta enjoy life. I mean, I don't live on the edge.

I don't advise kids to do what I do. I'm just doing me. I just smoke a little weed and do a little drink.

I'm not old school, like, "Aw, man, I gotta do my music like I did in '98." I just go with the flow. I don't try to change anything.

There's a lot of money in doing score music. You can get a chance to get nominated for an Oscar.

It's hard for a person to try to keep his stuff together being nominated for something and then performing onstage.

I keep my ear to the streets - that's how I know music. I live, breathe, eat, and sleep music. That's it. Nothing else.

I don't have a hand in a lot of my own beats. I like all types of music and all types of beats though.

You never know what's gonna be a hit.

Even when everything's going your way you can still be sad. Or anxious. Or uncomfortably numb. Because you can't always control your brain or your emotions even when things are perfect.

It's the price of success: people start to think you're omnipotent.

The longer we live the more weight we carry in our hearts.

One dedicated worker is worth a thousand slaves.

I'd much rather resign than be pushed.

Actually, I don't think there's anyone that represents the artists, except the artists themselves.

A lot of the stuff I listen to is glitchy electronic stuff and stuff with beats.

When work is a pleasure, life is a joy! When work is a duty, life is slavery.

The root of oppression is the loss of memory.

I love being an actor and a job is a job, and I'm always happy to have a job.
