When you don't have a seat at the table, you're on the menu, my friend Lee Saunders has said, and he is correct..

I wanna be loved. I just wanna be loved..

The only thing that limits you right now is you..

Keep it weird. They'll get it later..

The elect, those who will; the non-elect, those who won't..

I do like that idea that music can work on two levels, and you only pick up on the second one after a few listens..

I'm an unpure purist, something like that..

I have this thing that, once I finish a movie, I never see it again..

The longer you live, the better you get..

I'm a free agent. I want the major-label budget for my next album, but I'm too big for the label to pay me. I don't want to be controlled, to be wate….

No one can be Rihanna, except for Rihanna.

Just when I thought you couldn't get any dumber, you go and do something like this... and totally redeem yourself!.

You can't expect anything to be handed to you. And I learned that..

I imagined it. I wrote it. But I guess I never thought I'd see it..

I woke up. I was like, "Look, you can do anything you want - and you want a lot of things, so you should get to work.".

Do not serve time, let time serve you..

I'm closest to the music when I'm onstage with the band, playing..

Death can be hastened but never shared..

Freebase? What's free about it?.

See the gift that change delivers..

Surely I have contemplated the things of God..
