I didn't become successful until I became myself

Love as hard as you can, at all times

It was only until I started to be myself that the music started to flow and people started to listen. So, thank you guys...

Guess it's true I'm not good at a one night stand , but I still need love cause I'm just a man

I've only been in unrequited relationships where people haven't loved me back. I guess I'm a little bit attracted to that in a bad way.

I want to be rich in all the foods I’ve tasted and all the places I’ve been and all the people I’ve kissed.

Luxury will be always around, no matter what happens in the world.

I want to create situations that give people something to think about.

I'm like Demerol... No disrespect to the Jacksons, but I kill mics.

Some people never have anything except ideals.

My music came up from the soil of North Carolina.

Imagination is a powerful deceiver.

I know that the twelve notes in each octave and the variety of rhythm offer me opportunities that all of human genius will never exhaust.

Not one of the good-to-great companies focused obsessively on growth.
