I would hear stories about Steve Jobs and feel like he was at 100 percent exactly what he wanted to do, but I'm sure even a Steve Jobs has compromised. Even a Rick Owens has compromised. You know, even a Kanye West has compromised. Sometimes you don't even know when you're being compromised till after the fact, and that's what you regret.
I used to have insecurity about my finances, then I announced that I had debt, and now I don't have any insecurities.
I'm on the pursuit of awesomeness, excellence is the bare minimum.
You're not perfect, but you're not your mistakes.
I don't expect to be understood at all.
To use is necessary. And if you can't be used, then you're useless.
The longer your gevity is, the more confidence you build.
Just know that if you want to be a boxer you're going to get your face beaten constantly but then you may end up being a Mayweather or an Ali at the end of the day.
I don't even listen to rap. My apartment is too nice to listen to rap in.
A lot of people are very sacred with their ideas, and there is something to protecting yourself in that way, but there's also something to idea sharing, or being the person who makes the mistake in public so people can study that.
If you have power, you have to empower.
I never seen snakes on a plane
I want to help change the way young people look at school, and hence, the way they look at their futures.
I'm the smartest celebrity you’ve ever dealt with. I’m not Britney Spears.
