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.

Keep your nose out the sky, keep your heart to god, and keep your face to the raising sun.

Nothing in life is promised except death.

Would you believe in what you believe in if you were the only one who believed it?

Here's something that's contrary to popular belief: I actually don't like thinking. I think people think I like to think a lot. And I don't. I do not like to think at all.

I refuse to accept other people's ideas of happiness for me. As if there's a 'one size fits all' standard for happiness.

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 am Warhol. I am the No. 1 most impactful artist of our generation. I am Shakespeare in the flesh.

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

I feel like I'm too busy writing history to read it.

For me, money is not my definition of success. Inspiring people is a definition of success.

I don't know what's better gettin' laid or gettin' paid.

We all self-conscious. I'm just the first to admit it.

I was never really good at anything except for the ability to learn.

I'm a human being. I've got opinions, I'm not always right, I'm not always on time, I don't always say things in the proper way, but my intentions are always extremely pure.

Know your worth! People always act like they're doing more for you than you're doing for them.

Our work is never over.

Every time I say something that's extremely truthful out loud, it literally breaks the Internet.

I'll say things that are serious and put them in a joke form so people can enjoy them. We laugh to keep from crying.

I don't even listen to rap. My apartment is too nice to listen to rap in.

I can analyze people's intentions. Immediately. That's just a warning. To everyone.

I know I got angels watchin me from the other side.

Fashion is merely an opinion. And I've got a lot of opinions.

I am not a fan of books.

The risk for me would be in not taking one - that's the only thing that's really risky for me.

George Bush doesn't care about black people.

I have decided in 2020 to run for president.

It's not 'can'; it's 'will.' You have to will things into fruition.

I ain't here to argue about his facial features. Or here to convert atheists into believers. I'm just trying to say the way school need teachers the way Kathie Lee needed Regis that's the way yall need Jesus.

People always say that you can't please everybody. I think that's a cop-out. Why not attempt it? 'Cause think of all the people you will please if you try.

This dark diction has become America's addiction.

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?

All these walls that keep us from loving each other as one family or one race - racism, religion, where we grew up, whatever, class, socioeconomic - what makes us be so selfish and prideful, what keeps us from wanting to help the next man, what makes us be so focused on a personal legacy as opposed to the entire legacy of a race.

I will go down as the voice of this generation, of this decade, I will be the loudest voice.

I think I do myself a disservice by comparing myself to Steve Jobs and Walt Disney and human beings that we've seen before. It should be more like Willy Wonka... and welcome to my chocolate factory.

I don't think people are going to talk in the future. They're going to communicate through eye contact, body language, emojis, signs.

Our focus needs to be less on what our legacy's going to be or how we can control each other and more how we can give to each other.

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

I would hear stories about Steve Jobs and feel like he was at 100 percent exactly what he wanted to do, but I'm sure even a Steve Jobs has compromised. Even a Rick Owens has compromised. You know, even a Kanye West has compromised. Sometimes you don't even know when you're being compromised till after the fact, and that's what you regret.

I'm not always going to say things the perfect way, the right way. But I'm going to say how I feel.

The dinosaurs aren't remembered for much more than their bones. When humanity's gone, what do we give to this little planet that we're on, and what could we do collectively, removing the pride?
