I'm kinda like a needle in a haystack right now cause I haven't blown up yet.

I'm just gonna do my own kinda swag of kinda dumbing something down and speaking some knowledge.

I'm from a middle class family. I didn't grow-up rich, but I didn't grow-up poor. Each guy has to stick to his own story.

I'm really just tryna bring it home for my city, I'm trying so hard to be the best I can be on every record I do, every feature I do and every different city I go to.

Its just tryna impress the world and then realizing that, that doesn't even matter really, you gotta impress yourself.

My first official music video for "Who Am I." It's getting crazy traffic and a lot of hype. I got sponsored by a company called MATIX because of it.

Look at somebody like Drake, the guy is one of the most vulnerable. He says exactly what's on his mind and that's why I respect him.

I think my music has a big message, and I think when people really get into it, it does help their life sometimes. It inspires me; it's my favorite part about my job.

I think the new school is dope. Artists like Kid Cudi, The Cool Kids, Drake and Wale can come out of middle class homes and be on tracks with people like Jay-Z, who's from the hood and the street.

Me, personally, I'm just happy. I have a great mother. I have two great sisters. I couldn't ask for more. I'm healthy. I do what I love.

My good friend Josh Bibby happens to be a pro skier and has used my music in 2 international ski films.

Her eyes reversed into herself, to watch the secret heart of herself pounding itself into pieces against the side of her chest.

I don’t want to be a critic of the world. I want to encourage it.

Each day each hour an entire life.

Our faith comes in moments our vice is habitual.

If your kid doesn't have broadband access, that's a real disadvantage for participating in modern education.

A photograph is the illusion of a literal description of how the camera 'saw' a piece of time and space.

I'm going to stay active as long as I can politically, and with the Carter Center primarily, and if I'm able mentally and physically, will continue to be quite active.

When it comes to forks in the road, your heart always knows the answer, not your mind.

I can't imagine I'll be the new George Clooney. That's not really in the cards.

The most difficult book I have ever read was a manual on the use of iron bangles by A.J. Thompson.
