If you want to play piano, you just gotta love piano, and I loved the way that music sounded from the beginning. Always did - everything about an instrument I loved.

My hard work finally catching up with perfect timing

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

I always hung around older dudes. I feel like I was more wise and I just had more knowledge of what was going on.

It's the timing. I don't have to do it [drugs] all the time.

Everybody just needs a second chance.

I don't write hits for myself, or for other artists, or to just be writing it. I write it because I was born to do this. I was given this gift and I'm making the most of my opportunity.

You know that I can make hits. You know I can do all these rap records. So, I'm going to start opening up and letting you know my struggles.

The Destiny of Man is to unite, not to divide. If you keep on dividing you end up as a collection of monkeys throwing nuts at each other out of separate trees.

My die-hard fans who came out - I call them my die-hard fans because any time a fan pays to see you, they have to love what you're doing, respect the craft.

I've been on the songs of all these rappers that put out an album, and my music is still better.

The orbit of human vision has widened and art has annexed fresh territories that were formerly denied to it.

I call it Inherent Twice because I am looking forward to seeing it again.

Don't go back over your life with a red pen.

Don't open your diamonds in a vegetable market. Tie them in bundle and keep them in your heart, and go your own way.

We have not come into the world to be numbered; we have been created for a purpose; for great things: to love and be loved.

I have faith, I believe in God and I've gotten through all the problems I had because of those three things: my faith, my hope and my belief in an eternal God.

You have to believe in love stories and prince charming and that eventually you'll find your own happily ever after.

God is a tremendous supporter of creation, especially of all living beings.

Covetousness, anger and foolishness are things to sort out well. When bad things happen in the world, if you look at them comparatively, they are not unrelated to these three things.
