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.

I am very humble, and I am very gracious and very grateful for everything that happens to me and about me and around me.

Life is a lot like skateboarding.

I don't want to be understood because if people understand me, they get tired of me.

Don't make an opinion on me if you don't know nothin' about me.

The more time you spend contemplating what you should have done... you lose valuable time planning what you can and will do.

I'm a gangster, and gangsters don't ask questions.

I like people that enjoy life, 'cause I do the same.

I'm blessed and I thank God for every day for everything that happens for me.

I always believe that to be the best, you have to smell like the best, dress like the best, act like the best. When you throw your trash in the garbage can, it has to be better than anybody else who ever threw trash in the garbage can.

Honestly, I don't listen to nobody else's music but my own. It's kind of like sports to me. You don't see Kobe Bryant at a LeBron James game - he just works on his own game. And that's what I do. I only listen to me, so I can criticize and analyze and all those things.

Miami has embraced me and I love them for that.

I'm not an example for how people should live their lives. Never in my life would I ever set out to be an example for people on how to live their lives. If you need an example for how to live, then you just shouldn't have been born. Straight up.

I believe music should reflect yourself in some way and not just yourself at the given time. I feel that when you die or when you're going, someone's supposed to listen to that music and know everything about you. And I just try to get that across.

I still think there is a huge emphasis on how women look, whether it's fitting a certain mold to play a certain type of character, or the idea that we might have insecurities based on the standards we see in the media.

I think it's just important to not judge people based on their physicality because it's really about personality and people's hearts and souls. That's what drew me to Audrey Hepburn who is kind of like my icon.

Great movie stars like Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor who were capable of saying so much without saying anything at all merely by carrying themselves in a classic fashion that's timeless yet relatable.

I think it's a scary sign of the times that pop culture and social media is so involved [in presidential election ], where it feels like a reality show. I have hope that the right decision will be made.

[My book is] a collection of letters and essays about what it takes to be a young woman today. Mostly the taboo things that girls don't want to talk about, but once we do we realize we're not alone.

I think the big thing is the fairy tale. It's taking old folk fairy tales and retelling them in modern day. I think it's just taking you out of everyday life, and everyone loves a good fairy tale.

I had some difficult times when I first moved to Los Angeles when people would tell me I was saying things wrong. I felt different although my mum kept reminding me it was OK to be different.

Never once does Snow White herself look in the mirror so she isn't aware of her beauty or what apparently that does to people. It's really just the queen and the prince that talk about it.

I was actually the one who decided to move to LA. Mom and I were driving on Sunset Boulevard during one of our trips back to see her family, and I said, 'Can we just stay?' So we did.

I think I've been brought up very well by both my parents. I am very cautious and I think I'm now fit for the world I'm in. They're very much behind my modelling and very supportive.

I love hats, I'm such a fan of hats. You don't wear a fascinator everywhere you go, but there are ways to incorporate old Hollywood nuances into your looks today but also edge it up.
