Hopped up out the bed / Turn my swag on

I'm headed towards greatness. I think I'm making history in hip-hop.

Words are powerful. When I make mistakes I just try to come back and clarify what I meant.

I hate it when people come up to me on trains and ask 'Are you Soulja Boy?' If people want pictures or autographs, that's cool, but I don't like the dumb questions.

If I'm going to make music for the streets or the clubs or whatever, I go at it with 110 percent.

Soulja Boy is on his dance, down south, young, 18-year-old, comedic swag. It's really just each person's personality; if every rapper had the same swag, it would be kind of boring.

I was one of the first artists to have a YouTube account, if not the first. I joined two months after the site launched.

My first single I was nominated for a Grammy with 'Crank That,' and I lost a Grammy to Kanye West, but it was still such a big deal for me to be nominated anyway.

But they were not friends. They were here to keep each other from spinning off alone into the dark matter of the universe.

I change by not changing at all.

My only drive was to be the best dancer in the world, but I never won the world championship.

The most I would do was use the shadow tool in Photoshop to bring out the muscular rips in my stomach, which were honestly there. Beneath the fat.

You translate everything-whether physical, mental, or spiritual into muscular tension.

Peace requires us to surrender our illusions of control.

I have, in some ways, saved characters that have been marginalized by society by playing them - and having them still have dignity and still survive, still get through it.

If you must tell me your opinions, tell me what you believe in. I have plenty of doubts of my own.

Communicate with visual literacy - Make good use of all the non-verbal ways of communication - color, shape, form, texture.

Nothing is more useful than the useless.
