I've spent my life supporting myself..

You've got to have a gimmick if your band sucks..

In a stage play, you kill the leads and they come out for a bow - in a movie, they don't come out for a bow, they're dead..

Bing Crosby said that Armstrong is "the beginning and the end of music in America," and he wasn't far wrong..

I only do what I like to do..

Your either in or out. There's no in between..

In the beginning, everything was even money..

Donald Trump is temperamentally unfit..

Failure is not getting beat. Failure is when you don't do a good job preparing..

There's humor in everything. There's gotta be humor in everything..

Life isn't what it's like in the movies..

While the heart beats, hope lingers..

Life: I'll never understand it..

Carmen didn't like change, and she certainly didn't like endings..

You have to make the rules, not follow them.

He who would travel happy must travel lite..

...doing more with less..

I like things to reverberate, to be suggestive..

It is worse to be irresolute than to be wrong..

Resist doing things that have no meaning for life..

As far as the work I did with Timbaland, it was his sound and I just kinda floated in his direction. I just rapped over his traditional beats..
