I have learned to enjoy the ups for what they are, because those are the moments that feel like they go by the quickest.

I take pride in being one of the most successful producers in hip-hop history, having the most successful record in hip-hop history, I have the most number ones.

Can't nobody take my pride. Can't nobody hold me down.

You should do what we do, stack chips like Hebrews.

My mother was always working for a job, so I guess I was always trained that I should have multiple jobs, multiple aspirations. And I remember she had multiple aspirations, always hearing about her dreams and things she did in the past and things she wanted to do.

I've never really taken more than four days off, so it was a lot for me to go away for three-and-a-half months. I went all over Europe. I walked on a whole bunch of beaches and I did a lot of thinking.

You have to be somewhat crazy, if you want to be successful.
