The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
When all this fame first comes, it's like being hit by a giant wave. You panic and think if you can just calm down and see where it's going, you'll be okay. Then you become more relaxed.
You can have a plan, but you have to be flexible. Every day is unpredictable, and you just have to go with the flow.
This business is fickle. You have very good patches and less good patches, but you learn to ride them out. As long as you don't take yourself too seriously, you'll be fine. When you lose sight of that, you're in trouble.
Sometimes you gotta leave when you're on top.
There are going to be good days and bad days. Bottom line.
I think everybody does go in expecting they're making 'Gone With The Wind' on their first movie. But you know, that's just not going to be the case, everybody. Hold onto your hat. Buckle in. It's probably going to take a few.
When you're hot, you try to ride it as long as you can.
If you get labeled a winner, people come along for the ride. Might as well enjoy it and they should too.
When I first came in the game, I had a bunch of homies that rapped that was hanging around me just because I was getting the rap attention, and they felt they could feed off of that.

Most people are rowing against the current of life. Instead of turning the boat around, all they need to do is let go of the oars.
You've got to go with the flow. Whatever happens, you've just got to be ready for it.
Turbulence is life force. It is opportunity. Let's love turbulence and use it for change.
It's good to surf whatever waves are going on right there as they're happening.
Everyone knows that in Hollywood, when you're hot, you've got to run with it. Because eventually they kick you out.
Life has a habit of not staying hitched. You got to ride it like you find it.
It's better to finish at the peak or soon after it, than to wait until the audience notices a decline.
Show business is like a bumpy bus ride. Sometimes you find yourself temporarily juggled out of your seat and holding onto a strap. But the main idea is to hang in there and not be shoved out the door.
Trends, like horses, are easier to ride in the direction they are going.
Life is a roller coaster. There are ups; there are downs. There are hills; there are valleys, peaks, and so on.
There aren't that many policy changes you can do, so I'd say you ride the wave and hope that maybe some of the external events help you.
Keep things in perspective. It's never quite as good as it seems, it's never quite as bad as it seems.
It's fairly easy to know when you've succeeded because you're kind of hanging on for dear life. It's such an unstoppable juggernaut; you're trying to stay with your head above water because things are moving so fast.
I like to go with the energy because when you ignore it that's when you start doing things wrong.
