The mind is everything. What you think you become.

Most people are prisoners, thinking only about the future or living in the past. They are not in the present, and the present is where everything begins.

Everybody has that point in their life where you hit a crossroads and you've had a bunch of bad days and there's different ways you can deal with it and the way I dealt with it was I just turned completely to music.

As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn't leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I'd still be in prison.

I don't carry the burden of the past or the madness of the future. I live in the present.

By ancestry, I was born to rule.
