Reality is wrong. Dreams are for real.

You can't just sit there and wait for people to give you that golden dream. You've got to get out there and make it happen for yourself.

I worked hard all my life as far as this music business. I dreamed of the day when I could go to New York and feel comfortable and they could come out here and be comfortable.

When you're singing you can hear the echo of people in the audience singing every single word with you, and that was that big dream that I had for myself. It's happening.

Hip-hop is not the problem, our reality is the problem.

I really had a lot of dreams when I was a kid, and I think a great deal of that grew out of the fact that I had a chance to read a lot.
