You're younger, you might want to go to clubs and kick it, but as you get older, you start seeing that life has more meaning to it. The people that you love are the people you want to start trusting and start wanting them to trust you and start respecting them.

All of a sudden you're like the Bin Laden of America. Osama Bin Laden is the only one who knows what I'm going through.

I want America to know that you can't believe everything you hear, and nowadays, you can't believe everything you see.

Take away the In God We Trust, tell me what the hell is wrong with us.

Sometimes silence can seem so loud.

I want people to notice my writing abilities are real and that I'm not just stuck in one situation.

My music has shaken hands with the world somehow - it's a beautiful disease, and I'm glad I got it.
