Through my life, [there have been] a lot of devils and a lot of situations, so I'm just goin' hard, maintaining, regardless of what people got to say about Ace Hood.

We've got goals we're trying to reach, and "Overtime" is the only way to do it, and "Champion" is the only thing we're tryin' to be.

Money the root of evil guess I'm the devil then. God bless my soul to rest.

I want certain things out of life. I want my grand kids, my kids' kids, being able to inherit what I've worked so hard to build.

Due to success I started losing friends.

In order to perfect your craft, you've gotta go hard, you've gotta go overtime.

I still follow that model: just go hard every day, and take it one step at a time.

There's a lot of people that try to come between my clique and try to stop what we're doin', but we got no mercy for 'em.

We're gonna keep on doin' what we're doin', and we're gonna get it by all means. That's just what "ruthless" means to me. Everybody's got their own definition, but I'm ruthless with this music.

I'm a young dude, and there ain't too many people who are doin' it like I'm doin' it. There ain't no others in my lane - I am the future of this music.

The budgets are runnin' low, the streets ain't really got money no more, things are just dryin' up; I just felt like people needed some motivation, so I took 'em "Overtime."

The spirit of excellence exorcises the demon of mediocrity.

In order to truly give to others, you have to give to yourself first.

If you have a hammer, use it everywhere you can, but I do not claim that everything is fractal.

I believe that one of the most powerful things of all is aesthetics.

I would have been a terrible mother because I'm basically a very selfish human being. Not that that has stopped most people going off and having children.

There exists in the minds of men a tone of feeling toward women as toward slaves.

People send everyone hate mail. That's the way the world works right now, I'm nothing special.

There is only one type of story in the world-your story.

A wise man looks upon men as he does on horses; all their caparisons of title, wealth, and place, he considers but as harness.

If you go back to all my albums, they're all confessional.
