I never pay attention, to no numbers, no views, comments ... I just try to keep on going, keep on living my life so I can continue to put out music that's real.

You just gotta be yourself. Like be yourself and if it works out for you, grind hard. Don't get lost in it. And have fun.

You get comparisons with anything in life. I think that if you [are] taking the time out to compare me to somebody, then I must be doing something right.

I want my foundation built, and I want to be strong enough to deal with everything coming my way.

I want to give people the message and let them feel my emotion behind it.

I'm putting my emotion out on stage so people can actually feel me. If you feel somebody's art and you see them perform it and they aren't feeling it, that's one of the first things in the game.

There's a lot of people out there that's starting to sound like me so I guess I'm doing something right.

I like it when girls are screaming for me. It makes me feel really player-like. I enjoy being out there, delivering my songs, and putting a face to the music.

I don't know what it means to be a star because I don't really look at myself like a star. I look at myself as a regular person, just like everybody else. I just love what I do.

A fan can only go as far as you let them. I've seen crazy things like girls having me autograph their body and then they go get it tattooed. I guess that's too far, but it's cool with me.

I'm a private person so wasn't the type of person who could talk to people and be like this is going on at home, I want this shirt, this girl don't like me, etc. I just rap about it!

I would have followed you to hell and back... if only you'd lead me back.

I have a huge respect for writers and realise that this is not an area that I find easy. I doubt that I would have the patience in front of a blank sheet of paper to become a writer.

You mustnt give your heart to a wild thing. The more you do, the stronger they get.

On your journey, remember there is no end. That is true knowledge. There is no final knowledge. There is no final enlightenment, that is a very finite, human way of seeing things.

I look for a director with a script he likes a lot, but I'm probably after the directors more than anything.

Attack another's rights and you destroy your own.

Where we might think of sin as slip-ups or missteps, God views sin as a godless attitude that leads to godless action.

A just person is one who is conformed and transformed into justice.

My goal has been to be a great character actor.

Once you begin the journey toward a life of purpose, you enter the realm of real magic.
