I just enjoy life now. I just enjoy every morning I get to wake up.

I think if I heard someone else talking about their life, describing all the problems I've had, they'd look like they were through. Done. But there's something about me - I'm smiling. Those things are really not bad enough to put me in a slump. I'm smiling with the opportunity to wake up every morning.

You can't please everybody. You'd be crazy if you're trying to. So take some time out to do some things for yourself.

Working with great people makes you great you learn a lot and it also gives you the experience and confidence to move on with your own career.

I don't get jealousy, I don't get how people hate each other - I never did.

I think hip-hop could help rebuild America, once hip-hoppers own hip-hop... We are our own politicians, our own government, we have something to say. We're warriors. Soldiers.

Anybody I'm dating, I don't want them to talk about my music. I don't talk about my music to them.

I want to have fun. It's a beautiful life. You learn, you win, you lose, but you get up.
