You know Beyoncé, man. She's very quiet about how she does things. She doesn't like to let everybody know what she's about to do.

You might be a legend one day if you just keep your head to the ground and never get overzealous and start thinking you've outdone yourself. That's the space I try to stay in.

I never feel like I've done good enough. That's why I'm always so excited about working because I gotta keep pushing myself to do better work, to do great work.

Beyoncé don't get a lot of leaks. She just has a very tight control. Most of the time, that's generally not the case, but I pretty much follow her direction.

Beyonce is such a visual artist. This was just trying to figure out another side to her that could be fun and young and exciteful and a great video.

She [Beyonce] is just an energetic performer and she loves drums. She loves edge.

One half was like, I hope this doesn't affect it, and the other half was like, it's great that people know I did a Beyoncé record.

At that point, when songs got leaked, it was cool though too because then you started getting recognition beforehand.

I made the record, and I sent it over to Jay Brown, who was working on Rihanna's album. He was like, "Send me that record for Rihanna."

Beyoncé can handle any record you put in front of her. Any record that pushes her in that direction, it would have been good to be on the project.

I don't like when everything sounds the same.

My work involves online dating, but I believe almost every behavior exhibited online has an offline corollary. Really, the medium doesn't change human nature.

First and foremost, we need to be the adults we want our children to be. We should watch our own gossiping and anger. We should model the kindness we want to see.

Don't worry when you're being persecuted for God, worry when you're not.

I believe there is no one deeper, lovelier, more sympathetic and more perfect than Jesus.

Help me to withstand your beauty as it stands out of reach. Give me the capacity to forget ever having felt your touch.

Craziness was considered funny, like all other things that were in reality frightening and profoundly shameful.

A creativity that comes out of meditative innocence, of meditative purity. And a real creator is possible only through meditation.

From time to time there are going to be things that occur that are acts of God that cannot be prevented.

We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.

Help and you will abolish apathy-the void that is so quickly filled by ignorance and evil.
