I always tell my kids if you lay down, people will step over you. But if you keep scrambling, if you keep going, someone will always, always give you a hand. Always. But you gotta keep dancing, you gotta keep your feet moving.
Just to talk in front of people is scary. And now you gotta learn how to be funny, and now you gotta learn how to make people laugh at what you think is funny. That's not easy.
You have a new audience for every show. Even though you do the same thing all the time, you gotta keep it fresh for yourself, and you gotta keep it good and interesting and something you want to do. I'm anxious to have a really terrific act. Whatever it takes it takes.
Really you just gotta keep chugging along and keep a positive attitude and get through all the problems. You gotta face them, otherwise you don't get through.
You gotta keep falling in love. You gotta believe in it. What are you going to do... give sheep the vote?
I consider myself the head coach whose job is to keep this winning team intact. I keep everybody focused and motivated.
Whatever you see you gotta keep a sense of humor; you gotta be able to smile through all the bullshit.
You gotta have faith. You gotta keep your head up.
We got a thumbs-down from every label. But you gotta keep the faith, man. You gotta hang in there and be tenacious.
I want a long career in music, so you've gotta keep trying things out; it's gotta get progressively better.
I think you gotta always do things that keep you excited in an [rap music] industry that's so bullshit. When you know that you have so much energy and so much to give, it would be a shame if the facilitators of that aren't enthusiastic about you doing it, because you've been doing it for so long. So you just gotta figure out ways in this insane business to keep it fresh.
My music has to be funny and sad and happy and loving; it's gotta have it all. When somebody's just too dark all the time, it's just drama. Or if somebody's too funny? Well, I like being too funny sometimes.
I gotta defend, I gotta protect the rim, I gotta rebound, I gotta set good picks for the guys, finish on offense, and I think that is not going to change much.
I still want to make more plays, but you know it's going to come. You gotta keep playing, playing hard, continue to study, continue to get myself better, working on my technique, and it will come. Just gotta keep working.
We really can't go out and party every night like a lot of bands do - we have to keep our voices right for the show. It's a bummer, but you gotta do what you gotta do to live the dream.
