What I want to be is the best bad guy you've ever seen.
There had to be a better way - if I couldn't find it, I wanted to create it.
When I nearly died it made me think – this can happen again any second. I better hurry and do what I want. I started to live like I never lived before. When the fear of death is gone, then nothing can bother you and nobody can stop you.
My grandmother, she's been the positive portion of my life the entire time. She raised us Baptist, and when I got old enough to say I didn't want to go to church, she didn't force me. She was cool.
People who actually have money don't want to talk about it. They want to talk about everything else.
I was born alone and I will die alone. I've got to do what's right for me and not live my life the way anybody else wants it.
You stop thinking about the police finding out what you did. You start thinking about God knowing what just happened.
People really should come because it's going to be the best experience of their lives.
She's a typical girl. She loves shoes. She loves going shoe shopping, right in mom's closet.
She's a pretty outgoing dog. We're stunned I'm dumbfounded.
She's mesmerized. She's like what's all this attention for me. She's happy I can tell.
I believe people have a little more interest in reading what I'm saying or hearing me speak because they know I ain't gonna sugarcoat it. Because I give them the truth.
I'm really sensitive. And they don't understand that, because my most comfortable feeling is anger. So I'll get angry if you said something to hurt my feelings or you're making me uncomfortable, I'll get angry, and be ready to do something about it.
The more my fans know about my past, the more they'll be able to predict and understand some of the moves I make in the future.
