You have to learn to laugh all the time. It's a practice of life. It's a practice of happiness.

No matter what you're doing, try to work at that task like it's your dream job.

I've been blessed to find people who are smarter than I am, and they help me to execute the vision I have.

I mean people are sexist and racist and homophobic and violent. But I don't think of the rappers as being any more sexist or racist or homophobic than their parents. Certainly less, in all those cases, less homophobic or racist or sexist, and then less gangster than our government. It's stuff that people normally don't speak on, subjects they don't speak on, and ideas they kind of keep to themselves.

You've got to do things that promote what's important.

You have to be present, awake and happy now.

In the end, the overriding factor in whether or not you realize your dreams is going to be you. Not the world. YOU.
