Life is a b*tch depending how you dress her.
If you have the opportunity to play this game of life you need to appreciate every moment. a lot of people don't appreciate the moment until it's passed.
I refuse to accept other people's ideas of happiness for me. As if there's a 'one size fits all' standard for happiness.
Nothing in life is promised except death.
Life is 5% what happens, and 95% how you react.
You don't have to be scared of me, because I am loyal. Why are people so scared of creative ideas and so scared of truth? All I want to do is do good.
Man, I'm the No. 1 living and breathing rock star. I am Axl Rose; I am Jim Morrison; I am Jimi Hendrix.
My message isn't perfectly defined. I have, as a human being, fallen to peer pressure.
I really appreciate the moments that I was able to win rap album of the year or whatever.
I liberate minds with my music. That's more important than liberating a few people from apartheid or whatever.
I hate the way they portray us in the media. If you see a black family it says they're looting, if you see a white family it says they're looking for food.
Nobody can tell me where I can and can't go.
I would hear stories about Steve Jobs and feel like he was at 100 percent exactly what he wanted to do, but I'm sure even a Steve Jobs has compromised. Even a Rick Owens has compromised. You know, even a Kanye West has compromised. Sometimes you don't even know when you're being compromised till after the fact, and that's what you regret.
I never seen snakes on a plane
