I'm trying to live with no fears and not care what anyone has to say.

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

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.

Why are there beings at all, instead of Nothing?

The transformation of the world takes place in your heart.

An evening like this would be empty without some reference to [politics] so let's just think of this as empty.

Everything passes. Everything experiences the birth and death cycle.

I don't think you should meet the people you most admire. I don't want reality to interfere with my image.

Most bands have a two-year success rate. By the third year, it's sort of over. Here we are in Poison still together 26 years later.

I can't live and hold the camera, someone gotta take this

To the sick, while there is life there is hope. [Lat., Aegroto dum anima est, spes est.]

And generally, when people say good night, they keep their tongues to themselves.

We can give our smiles, our encouragement, our sympathy to someone who needs them every day of the year.
