I try to study the background of the country I am in and what were my hits there, so I can at least give them some of what they want. It's like a wedding - give them something old, something new, something borrowed and definitely something blue!
I learned that as much as you think when you're walking down that aisle that this forever, sometimes it's just not forever. You can have the best of intentions.
Everybody needs a little light in their life, and when they need prayer, they know where to come, because they know I love them all, and I ain't judging nobody.
All of my babies know that I preach all day... I ain't trying to hide no light under no bushel. Everybody needs a little light in their life, and when they need prayer, they know where to come because they know I love them all, and I ain't judging nobody.
There's always a time when you think you've done your last song or you've written your last rap or, you know, people are not checking for you.
I'm lyric conscious. I like to tell stories, give advice. Instead of writing a 'Dear Abby' column, I do it on records.
I only intended to be married one time. But marriages are made; they don't just happen. It takes two.
I love competition because I've always run faster when somebody was running next to me.
I have to tell you that I love people. When I see the kids coming up and see what they have done with the music, it's amazing.
Hands down, Rick Ross is a genius. Hands down, Diddy is a genius. Hands down, Kanye is a genius. All of them.
Divorce can be tough when the woman is the breadwinner. But the Lord can make the dark light.
As long as you keep yourself in love with people, you can transcend time.
I believe in legacy. And I believe in making the radio sound better. If I gotta listen to it, I want it to sound good.
I don't feel like I need to tell any lies. You get to an age where you get tired of hiding behind whatever people think is correct. You just say what you have to say, and if they don't like it, it's OK.
