When I'm on stage, I'm trying to do one thing: bring people joy.

I used to think like Moses. That knocked me down for a couple years and put me in prison. Then I start thinking like Job. Job waited and became the wealthiest and richest man ever 'cause he believed in God.

I'm the most sampled and stolen. What's mine is mine, and what's yours is mine, too... I got a song about that... But I'm never gonna release it. Don't want a war with the rappers. If it wasn't good, they wouldn't steal it.

You got to use what you got to get just what you want.

I'm kidding about having only a few dollars. I might have a few dollars more.

My expectations of other people, I double them on myself.

You're like a dull knife, it just ain't cutting.
