My life has always been - there's never been a middle. Either I had or I didn't. Either I was up or I was down.
As I experience life and go through things, that's what I write about.
I didn't want to be the kind of man that my father was. So I've tried, my entire life, to be the complete and utter opposite of that. And it has served not only the art well, but I think the audience well.
I love to give. I've been a giver all my life.
Seeing people laugh definitely inspires me, and so does seeing people get life lessons about living better.
I think we are born into what we're supposed to learn and find out in this life.
Life is so precious, such a gift, you have to live for you. Live your own truth, live the life that God has put you and nobody else on this Earth to live and not what somebody might be telling you to live.
What I have learned in this life is you can never be ashamed of where you come from.
I'm just enjoying my life.I suggest you try it.
I live my life outside of the box because when I die they're going to put me into one!
Life is so precious, such a gift, and that you have to live for you.
My biggest success is getting over the things that have tried to destroy and take me out of this life. Those are my biggest successes. It has nothing to do with work.
Once you're truly happy with yourself alone, that's when you are safe to find the right person to spend the rest of your life with.
The thing about using other people's money is they're going to set the rules.
