“I don't speak, I float in the air wrapped in a sheetI'm not a real person, I'm a ghost trapped in a beat”

“Came to the world at a time when it was in need of a villain. An asshole, that role I think I succeed in fulfilling. Dont think I ever stopped to think I was speaking to children. Everything was happening so fast, it was like I blinked, sold three million.”

“Imma be what I set out to be without a doubt undoubtedly.”

“I do say things that I think will shock people. But I don't do things to shock people. I'm not trying to be the next Tupac, but I don't know how long I'm going to be on this planet. So while I'm here, I might as well make the most of it.”

“What are friends ? Friends are people that you think are your friendsBut they really your enemies, with secret indentitiesAnd disguises, to hide they true colorsSo just when you think you close enough to be brothersThey wanna come back and cut your throat when you ain't lookin'.”

“I never had a drink in my life. I don't smoke or anything.”

“After I quit drinking, I realized I am the same asshole I always was; I just have fewer dents in my car.”

“I stopped drinking when I had children because I wanted to be awake and aware. I did not want to be going, you know, daddy loves you and then drop my head on the table. I do not want to miss anything that they do or say. It is important to me.”

“See what it is you would like to attract into your life. See how you would like your business to go, your relationships to go, and even your body to go in terms of overcoming addictions and dealing with weight and health issues.”

“In reality, it's much easier not to smoke or eat chocolate than to do so. It's your mind that convinces you otherwise.”

“Tobacco and opium have broad backs, and will cheerfully carry the load of armies, if you choose to make them pay high for such joy as they give and such harm as they do.”

“One wants recovery to start from the bottom, and the other wants it to start from the top. I don't know which is right. I've never heard of anybody suggesting that they might start it in the middle, so I hereby make that suggestion. To start recovery halfway between the two, because it's the middle class that does everything anyhow. But I don't know anything about it.”

“If you lose 50%, it takes 100% to get back to where you started-and that takes something you can never get back: time.”

“I know things are going to get better in spite of both sides. Then when things do get better, then you'll hear the yell that will go up. The Democrats will swear that recovery was due to them. Now the Republicans, they'll say it was due to them. Nobody wanted to claim the credit for the country blowing up, but wait until it starts picking up and they'll both be on it then. See?”
