I have a very good life, a high quality of life. I have both money and time. No one has that.
The worst thing to call somebody is crazy. It's dismissive. "I don't understand this person. So they're crazy." That's bullshit. These people are not crazy. They strong people. Maybe their environment is a little sick.
What is wrong with me i just bought a bag of weed from an infant.
I care about the work I do. But I'm not going to say that money's not an issue.
Dave! Relax! Close your buttcheeks!
Fame for me is like a place, a country I'm taking a tour through.
Everyone around me says, You're a genius! You're great! That's your voice! But I'm not sure if they're right.
America, I appreciate you liking me.
After a while, a joke, if you say it too much, just becomes contrived, or fake-sounding.
There's not too many people that don't think I'm crazy, for walking away from so much money," he said. "I'm at a restaurant with my wife, it's a nice restaurant, we're eating dinner. I look across the room, I say, "You see this guy over here, across the room? He has $100 million." And we're eating the same entree. So, OK, fine, I don't have $50 million or whatever it was, but say I have $10 million in the bank. The difference in lifestyle is miniscule.
The only way you can know where the line is, is if you cross it.
Money is the fuel for choices. Money gives me choices, so it's not nothing, it's something," he continued. "But it's not the end all, be all. There are other things in my life that I did not purchase with money that are very valuable.
You've got to say 'yes' to your destiny. Life's happening right now, look around you. There goes some life. Come on, Mamma, live!
Cause my life is dope, and I do dope sh*t
