If you want to win a race you have to go a little berserk.

I want to run until I can't run.

But if you can create an honorable livelihood, where you take your skills and use them and you earn a living from it, it gives you a sense of freedom and allows you to balance your life the way you want.

I want to work for a company that contributes to and is part of the community. I want something not just to invest in. I want something to believe in.

When you come off something really disappointing, you want to come back and kind of regroup and get involved in something positive right away.

At one point in your life, you'll have the thing you want or the reasons why you don't.

If we're a hit, let 'em say anything they want.

If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success.

I like to make music, I like rap music. Even if I'm white, I support that music. If I want to support it or any other white kid wants to support it more power to them.

I didn't want to go out and change anything. I just wanted to make the music that was part of my background, which was rock and blues and hip-hop.

I am happy to make money. I want to make more money, make more music, eat Big Macs and drink Budweisers.

I want as many people as possible to hear my music. I'm happy to entertain people by being a star.

But honestly, it's pretty weird; there are girls who'd do absolutely everything just to get a backstage pass. I don't know what it is, but really, when you're on national TV in America the girls love you. They all want you! And I'm not complaining!

I'm in show business... I want to hang out with Janet Jackson, not Jesse Jackson.

Few things are impracticable in themselves; and it is for want of application, rather than of means, that men fail to succeed.
