"Dark Fantasy" was my long, backhanded apology. You know how people give a backhanded compliment? It was a backhanded apology. It was like, all these raps, all these sonic acrobatics. I was like: "Let me show you guys what I can do, and please accept me back. You want to have me on your shelves."

The media crucify me like they did Christ.

Me and my girl split the buffet at KFC.

I will be the leader of a company that ends up being worth billions of dollars, because I got the answers.

I honestly feel that because Steve has passed, you know, it's like when Biggie passed and Jay-Z was allowed to become Jay-Z.

Everyone's born confident, and everything's taken away from you.

Thank God I'm not too cool for a seatbelt.
