I love sleep; it's my favorite.

People always tell you, 'Be humble. Be humble.' When was the last time someone told you to be amazing? Be great! Be great! Be awesome! Be awesome!

I hate the way they portray us in the media. If you see a black family it says they're looting, if you see a white family it says they're looking for food.

I just want people to be the best thems and live the happiest lives possible.

Nothing in life is promised except death.

I thank Marc Jacobs so much for giving me the opportunity to design a shoe for Louis Vuitton, but the thing that broke my heart most was when they said, 'You're finished. The shoe's finished.'

You don't have to be scared of me, because I am loyal. Why are people so scared of creative ideas and so scared of truth? All I want to do is do good.

Creative output, you know, is just pain. I'm going to be cliche for a minute and say that great art comes from pain.

They say you can rap about anything except for Jesus, that means guns, sex, lies, video tapes, but if I talk about God my record won't get played Huh?

It's funny because I've made a living off of words, but words get in the way of what you really want to say.

Art is to be free. Design is to fix.

Art is to be free. Design is to fix.

My goal is just to be respected as a man when I walk down the street with my family. I don't care what your job is, you're not gonna talk down to me, you're not gonna try to get a rise out of me. I'm a man first. And in establishing that, some interesting things have happened.

Our work is never over.

Michael Jordan changed so much in basketball, he took his power to make a difference. It's so much going on in music right now and somebody has to make a difference.

There's a lack of people in power that are motivated by the idea of helping people.

If you have the opportunity to play this game of life you need to appreciate every moment. A lot of people don't appreciate the moment until it's passed.

I am God's vessel. But my greatest pain in life is that I will never be able to see myself perform live.

If you see a black family, it's looting, but if it's a white family they are looking for food.

I love being American, and I love family. I love having a family, and I feel so blessed, and I feel like God gave me exactly what I wanted, so now I have to do the right thing in God's eyes also. Just follow what God wants me to do.
