It's weird how people hate getting older.

The main thing I want to do is make people feel more connected and more active.

I need to start honing in on projects that I want to devote my time to and not put my energies into the unattainable ones.

For the last three years, I've been working on 'Bromst,' and that's all that encompassed my brain. And now that it's out, it will change the way that I think musically.

I've since become really good at overwhelming myself.

It was never the goal to be a solo performer. It was just something that made the most sense at the time.

You know, most people called rap stupid when it started, and it was one of the most innovative music forms of its time.

I wanted to start working on something that had a lasting effect.

If you've become a huge act and you're still doing the same music you wrote with your friends when you were making zero dollars, you're lazy.

I throw ideas out into the open when I really should just be writing them down in a journal.

I just wanted to make a record that wasn't escapism. Like, I didn't want to write another record that was devoid of meaningful content.

The body fades. A leader who would last relies on more.

If the Devil says you cannot pray when you are angry, tell him it is none of his business, and pray until that species of insanity is dispelled and serenity is restored to the mind. (p. 175)

Happiness is not an experience, but the essence of experience.

Instead of cursing the darkness, try to fix the lamp.

The United States can't impose democracies. We can't impose our will. The Russians found that out in Afghanistan.

Snow falling softly on lashes of eyes you love, and a cold cheek growing warm next to your own in hushed dark familial December.

We change people through conversation, not through censorship.

Working through experience is best for me, just being there and trying to get into the mode.

True love is your souls recognition of its counterpoint in another.

You'll know what kind of bird I am when I fly over you.
