I try to use my voice. I know that celebrity is valuable, and people do listen.

I think the artist's job throughout history has been to tell - to say things that people are inspired by.

When you read a book, and it's really, really beautiful, you're so engaged you forget to breathe. If you're in a car accident, and everything moves slowly, you can be shocked into the present. The past and the future disappear.

I live in hip-hop. I don't find it to be offensive.

I don't believe that people create their own visions. Rather, I believe that visions are actually God's way of communicating with us.

No matter how rich you are, you cannot transport yourself to the future or the past.

In my experience, there's only one thing that will always steer you toward success: That's to have a vision and to stick with it... Once I have a vision for a new venture, I'm going to ride that vision until the wheels come off.
