When I'm in the studio I just try to zone out and not think of whatever is in the industry, if it sounds too much like someone else, I have a tendency to erase it.

Young kids out here see what's on TV and feel like they can start rapping. They think rappers are rich and really have their own jets and Bentleys, but in lot of cases that stuff is rented.

I like so many different genres of music that I guess it would be hard for me to pick one person who inspires me when so many people inspire me to make good music.

It's a beautiful thing to build your own fan base and pay the bills knowing that you're staying true to your music at the end of the day. I look at life like this, the sky's the limit!

Half of the reason why people aren't able to succeed in life is because they hypnotize themselves into believing that they can't accomplish their goals, it's a mind game they play with themselves.

I would describe myself as a hard worker, very humble and focused on whatever it is that I put my mind to.

I'm really just concentrating on making good music, whether it's using a sample or doing an original track.

The only reason I started using samples was because people talked about me not sounding like Kanye or The Heatmakers.

I just look up to anyone who made music back then because you really had to be a musician. There were no samples or drum machines. Those people back in the day paved the way for people like me.

God is my spiritual guide. Half the music I come up with I really don't know where it comes from.

You can't have somebody guide you through everything - some things you have to learn on your own.

Wait, " said Butler. "Just wait, Holly. Artemis has a plan." He squinted through the green dome. "What is your plan, Artemis?"All Artemis could do was smile and shrug.

There are no stoplights on love’s road

It is simply expression, as Henry says, that gives reality to things.

The advice he reads in Ann Landers – good advice as long as you don’t need it, perfectly sensible as long as you don’t have any use for it.

They say experience is the best teacher, but I'll be damned if I know what it teaches you.

Aiming for a greater level of success should never be for the purpose of making others look inferior to you.

For I have dipped my hands in muddied waters, and, withdrawing them, find 'tis better to be a commander than a common man!

....try the mustard, - a man can't know what turnips are in perfection without mustard.

Things are not getting better. They are getting worse. We need to elect Mitt Romney to turn things around.

I have never thought where I will go, or forced any targets on myself.
