I had a dream that I was captain of fate. I lost control and then I sank.

Today's circumstances are out of your control but you CAN control your response. Don't let a negative outlook kill your joy today.

If I'm learning something, that's all I want to talk about.

Character isn't who you are when life goes your way. Character is who you really are when the bottom falls out.

Hip hop - it's an art form but it's a culture as well. You grow up in the culture and you never leave it. It's a style of dress; it's a way of thought. I always grew up in the culture, and it was part of who I was and I carried it into every world I was in.

When you care about the culture, you can stop, pause, and say, "Okay, where do I stand in the midst of this all?"

People will hurt you. But don't use that as an excuse for your poor choices, use it as motivation to make the right ones.
