I want to make people feel certain ways when they listen to my music. Whether it's partying or going through relationship problems or grinding or getting dressed and feeling fly. I want to be who I am and have emotion in my music that affects people.

I don't believe in life after death. But I do believe in some grinding destiny that watches over us on earth. If I didn't, the safety valve would give and the boiler would explode.

We don't stop and we don't give up period. If the plan doesn't work, we choose to change the way we work. If that doesn't work, then we choose to change the plan, but we don't change the goal and we don't stop pushing, grinding and hustling.

Being in a relationship with some people is like pushing a boat through sand. I used to have the time and energy for that kind of nonsense, but not anymore. Relationships should be a wonderful journey of exploration and love; not grinding resistance.

One of my producers said this business is like a hamster on that little wheel thing that goes around and around. You may have a great day and get great ratings but then you've got another show to do - whatever moment of success or happiness you have you've got to keep grinding it out for the next day.

I don't believe in life after death. But I do believe in some grinding destiny that watches over us on earth. If I didn't the safety valve would give and the boiler would explode.

Now we're in the midst of not just advocating for change not just calling for change - we're doing the grinding sometimes frustrating work of delivering change - inch by inch day by day.
