I've learned that one thing about my life that is certain is trouble.

I'm not as serious of a person as people make me out to be. Most people would think that I would be less successful in comedy, but I can crack a joke as well as anyone else.

MTV has always given artists a platform to get their stories and music out to their fans and this series reveals the unknown side of T.I.-one of the world's greatest artists at the most precarious time in his life.

Stop lookin' at what you ain't got, and start being thankful for what you do got.

If I'm not in the mood to deal with you, then I just don't deal with you. I look at it like, me not dealing with you could save me a lot of trouble - me forcing myself to deal with you could bring me a lot of trouble. So I just play it by ear.

I always tried to work hard and stay focused, and just use one opportunity to contribute to the next.

Im either running from life or im just waiting to die im the supplier or fire if you chasing a high.
