I love the community and the entertainment too much. I'm used to it - it's what I saw first.

It was funny to just take a backseat and be like, 'Wow, I might be in this crazy place, but maybe I don't need to understand everything, maybe I don't need to be someone else.'

The more I know, the more I realise I don't know. And the more I realise I'll never truly understand.

You always know when a real inspiration is behind the melody, arrangements, even lyrics. And I know that's really vague, but it's true.

As a teenager and a young adult, I never felt like my own story was interesting enough to tell, so I always wrote lyrics from someone else's perspective - told someone else's story.

My dad is obsessed with music, so I was raised around this guitar player that really wanted me to be a guitar player.

I feel like I've met most people I look up to musically. I just want to meet Chef.

Paradoxes are what draws Wisdom like bees to honey! Hence, where there is no paradox (Complexity), there is no need for Wisdom....

You don't manifest dreams without taking chances.

A nation is formed by the willingness of each of us to share in the responsibility for upholding the common good.

We have to launch a national campaign against homophobia in the black community.

Fenworth!' Yes?' You bore me with your prattle.' Oh, regrettable that. Why don't you seek the company of someone who doesn't prattle? Seems like a good solution to your problem.

I'm glad I've never been so successful that I couldn't stop doing one thing. I've kind of been able to just kick it along and switch around.

I have learned to keep to myself how exceptional I am.

Idlers do not make history: they suffer it!

He who has Jesus has everything.

We have terrorists coming into the country both through our Northern and Southern borders.
