Lil Wayne

“I always believe that to be the best, you have to smell like the best, dress like the best, act like the best. When you throw your trash in the garbage can, it has to be better than anybody else who ever threw trash in the garbage can.”

“I just always expect the best because I'm a competitor and if I'm competing, then obviously I'm trying to be better in everything.”

“I know it's an experience that I need to have if God's putting me through it.”

“I want to make sure my family's straight.”

“Trying to tear down the past prohibits you from building up your future.”

“I believe in God and his son, Jesus.”

“I'm blessed and I thank God for every day for everything that happens for me.”

“Jail didn't make me find God, He's always been there. They can lock me up, but my spirit and my love can never be confined to prison walls.”

“I'm not an example for how people should live their lives. Never in my life would I ever set out to be an example for people on how to live their lives. If you need an example for how to live, then you just shouldn't have been born. Straight up.”

“I like people that enjoy life, 'cause I do the same.”

“Hate is only a form love that hasn't found a way to express itself logically.”

“A lot of women don't know how to love because there's deep reasons for them not knowing how to love. And what I mean by deep reasons is deep and dark reasons.”

“Honestly, I don't listen to nobody else's music but my own. It's kind of like sports to me. You don't see Kobe Bryant at a LeBron James game - he just works on his own game. And that's what I do. I only listen to me, so I can criticize and analyze and all those things.”

“I believe music should reflect yourself in some way and not just yourself at the given time. I feel that when you die or when you're going, someone's supposed to listen to that music and know everything about you. And I just try to get that across.”

“I believe that music is another form of news. Music is another form of journalism to me so I have to cover all the areas with my album.”

“My aim is just to make good music every single time.”

“I'm an addict, I'm addicted to success. Thankfully, there's no rehab for success.”

“The more time you spend contemplating what you should have done... you lose valuable time planning what you can and will do.”

“They say I'm the Hottest MC in the Game. If you label me that, I will live up to it. Trust me.”
