I guess something that you love to do, you gotta ease up off it and give it a little space, come back and be fresh to it.

I just don't think it's very dignified to ask people to like you. You can just wind up being somebody's ottoman.

I don't wanna get into that space where a lot of guys now, their solo album is like eight or 10 songs with other people, you don't get an idea of who this guy is. I just wasn't interested in that.

Everything's got space between it, the planets, trees, your eyes. Your eyes get too close together, it's a whole different world. You can lose perspective.

I don't care about what brand you are, I'm concerned what type of man you are, what your principles and standards are.

Don't look down, it's an impossible view; Fly like an eagle whatever you do.

It’s one thing to be the greatest; it’s another thing to be necessary. The best are the most necessary: those who take less than they give and love more than they hate.
