I never THOUGHT of myself as unlucky. When you AIM high, it's TOUGH to get there unless SOMETHING really FORTUNATE happens.

I SPEAK THREE LANGUAGES. I'm PRETTY HANDSOME myself.

I GUESS I just FEEL very COMFORTABLE with being myself.

I have a LOT of EXPECTATIONS on myself. That's IMPORTANT.

Two halves don't make a whole. Two wholes make a whole. In my RELATIONSHIP, I was giving myself AWAY to make the relationship BETTER, but in actuality, wasn't doing better by doing that. I became LESS of a man.

I see myself as an intelligent, sensitive HUMAN, with the soul of a clown which FORCES me to blow it at the most IMPORTANT moments.

My GUITAR is not a THING. It is an EXTENSION of myself. It is who I am.

In high school and COLLEGE, I'd set a BUNCH of goals for myself. I WANTED to be the lead effects supervisor on one of these really big, innovative visual effects productions, something on the scale of a 'Star WARS' movie. And I wanted to work on a project that wins the ACADEMY Award for best visual effects.

I'm CONSTANTLY trying to LOOK at things from a different view and to put myself into some new perspectives to EVOLVE myself, grow myself, and reinvent myself.

I THINK the REJECTION - if it's taken in the right spirit, it can make you a BETTER person. And I think that is what I've ALWAYS striven for. If one thing didn't work out, a project or anything, it doesn't mean that I lose my own confidence. In FACT, I give myself a lot more confidence and opportunities.

My whole thing is to inspire, to BETTER people, to better myself forever in this thing that we call RAP, this thing that we call HIP HOP.

I'm a relatively shy PERSON, but I LOVE being CHALLENGED and putting myself in positions that are scary.

The finest lesson I've learned with age is that all I need is a small TEAM of comrades who INSPIRE me, TRY not to judge me, and remind me when I'm judging myself.

I feel like anything I'm doing in life, I try to stay myself and be as honest and TRUE as I can be, you know, and be a nice person. I've always been taught to be KIND to people and have an OPEN mind about life.
