I'm going to keep proving people wrong, whether it's my record label, other artists.

I feel like I kind of got my own lane, but I think if you mix T.I., Andre3000, Hov and Kanye you kinda get who I am. And I'm a huge fan of all of those artists, I grew up on a little bit of all them.

I can't wait until the record label feels like it's time for my album to come out, and then just disappear.

I just continue to grind on my own. You can't deny good music at the end of the day.

I'm always looking for good music.

Atlanta is not like New York, where everybody piles into one place.

I basically lived through what could have been my downfall and survived it, so whatever comes my way, I'm ready.

It's cool to have a personal relationship with someone who's your idol. Someone whose music you used to constantly listen to, when you were hoping you could make it one day.

A lot of artists just put on the people they can make money off of.

I try to only work with people whose craft I believe in.

I hate when any rapper would just use "Rapper X" because "Rapper X" is hot at the time and put them on the record. That's not how I do my thing. I work with my friends and people I consider fam.

This isn't a reasoned response to a configuration of stars, but the heart cannot flourish on logic alone. Unreason is an essential medicine as long as you don't overdose

Family time is the best time.

Writing is like going to bed with a beautiful woman and afterwards she gets up, goes to her purse and gives me a handful of money.

The key to all strange things is in thy heart..../ My spirit has come home, that sailed the doubtful seas.

Of course, when I say that human nature is gentleness, it is not 100 percent so. Every human being has that nature, but there are many people acting against their nature, being false.

The reality is the picture, it is most certainly not in the picture.

People loved their horses, too. But you don't keep riding your horse to work just because you love it.

Billy squinted at me. "Why are you letting them go?" "Because they're real." "How do you know?" "The one I was holding crapped on my hand.

Do you want me to ride you like a rented mule, or do you prefer to be Mr. Missionary Position? I'm fine with wither, so it doesn't matter to me.

I have very human responses to things, so I had to learn to just be still.
