I knew school was stupid since the fifth grade.

I'm a real stubborn person. I'm still humble, not too cocky, but I'm big headed. I know what I wanna do and I know how I wanna do it and I know what needs to be done.

We're living or dying. We're already dead, the living dead. So do what you gotta do. Take care of your family, of yourself as a whole, and everything will be alright.

I got a Lucifer soul. I'll be the Devil's son, Devil's work, gettin' work.

I didn't spend money on nothin'. Besides my daughter, bucket hats, and weed.

People look at me and keep walking - but you can tell they know who I am. I want them to bug me. Its gonna be a sad day when they dont.

I smoke weed.It's not an addiction. It's something I wanna do. It's not smart though. It's not good for my body but I'm doing it. I'm not telling people to do it.

If I was with some other rappers who aren't as polished, or I was the only rapper, I don't think I would be where I'm, nor would I be rapping. They pushed me, we pushed each other on every record.

Charisma, that's my strong point. My personality was always good, but with music I had to grow into it. I grew into who I am now.

People saying that you been robbed is almost better than winning a Grammy.

I hate the business part of music. Music is just like the streets. There's loyal and disloyal people, people saying one thing and then don't do it.

Freedom is not for the timid.

The judiciary in Burma is not independent. It's widely known, everybody knows that.

Life is never stagnation. It is constant movement, un-rhythmic movement, as we as constant change. Things live by moving and gain strength as they go.

Sometimes we do not hear the Whisperer even at her loudest because she speaks in our own voice, the one we most often discount.

My background was producing and writing and performing in television when I started out, and I really missed that, that whole creative process that comes from sort of 'me' storytelling.

You can't hate yourself happy, You can't criticize yourself thin, You can't shame yourself wealthy. Real change begins with self-love and self care.

Confess your sins to the Lord and you will be forgiven; confess them to man and you will be laughed at.

The Cheshire Cat only grinned when it saw Alice. It looked good-natured, she thought: still it had very long claws and a great many teeth, so she felt it ought to be treated with respect.

My first record - it was 1991. I was 16 years old. My first album came out when I was 20. So, I've been here that long and I still have the passion to do it.

In Kabbalah, as in the Hassidic tradition, you cure the body, but you fix the soul. Curing takes time, but fixing, if you know how to do it, is immediate.
