I like being misunderstood.

I was still in school after I dropped my first solo album.

I don't look for signs. But when things happen, I say, 'OK, something must be right.' Or 'OK, something must be wrong.'

I want to be a skater.

I always knew I couldn't sing, but I also knew I had a voice that isn't heard by many, and that I could learn how to stretch it and make songs sound good.

If I have a rap album I'm dropping, then I want it to be the best rap album.

I always do my rap from the outside looking in. Like I do my rap as if I'm looking at me rap.

I'm always creative.

I want to make sure my family's straight.

I am my city. Nobody from my city wants to hear about my city.

I feel like everything I do is successful and productive. It's gonna be hard to tell me I'm slipping.

Everybody know, I don't do no promoting. I don't ever have to promote nothing, that's the beauty of Lil Wayne.

I watch ESPN all day long.

I have accomplished all that I have set out to accomplish and more.

The most bizarre thing I've ever read about myself is that I was dead. That was kind of weird to read that I'm dead - mostly because I was reading it.I love to work.z

I love to work.

You supposed to be able to do anything in this world. That's what Martin Luther King told me.

Things I say have value and I would love for you to value them, however you get it.

I know it's an experience that I need to have if God's putting me through it.

I do not consider myself a literal genius.

I don't have to prove anything.

I don't think I've ever googled myself.

I don't think nothing. I just do my work.

My aim is just to make good music every single time.

One thing about a skater: they never quit. So a skater, to sum it up, is awesome.

I'm kinda mad that I had to wait 28 years to jump on a skateboard.

I look at things as 'Everything is meant to be.'

I don't think life is about a pace, living slow or fast. I think you just live, y'know what I mean?

I've been criticized for the things I chose and things I've chosen to do.

I just always expect the best because I'm a competitor and if I'm competing, then obviously I'm trying to be better in everything.

I believe in God and his son, Jesus.

I just feel out of this world sometimes.

They say I'm the Hottest MC in the Game. If you label me that, I will live up to it. Trust me.

I'm an addict, I'm addicted to success. Thankfully, there's no rehab for success.

I believe that music is another form of news. Music is another form of journalism to me so I have to cover all the areas with my album.

Nothing scares me but God.

You're either living or you're dead.

Let me do me.

I don't like to stop. I believe you stop when you die.

Where I come from, the block become your daddy.

I'm so greedy, I'm hungry, I'm young.

I'm so greedy, I'm hungry, I'm young.

Trying to tear down the past prohibits you from building up your future.

We're here to live. We're here to do, we're here to be.

As long as people remember me forever, that will be enough for me.

I go wherever my creativity takes me.

I don't take nothin' from no one. I do what I wanna do. And I'm gonna do that until the day I die. And if I can't do that, then I'll just die.

A lot of women don't know how to love because there's deep reasons for them not knowing how to love. And what I mean by deep reasons is deep and dark reasons.

Don't judge me. You wanna judge me, put on a black gown and get a gavel. Get in line with the rest of them that's about to judge me. I got court dates every other month. It's me against the world - that's how I feel.

Jail didn't make me find God, He's always been there. They can lock me up, but my spirit and my love can never be confined to prison walls.
