Everything's got space between it, the planets, trees, your eyes. Your eyes get too close together, it's a whole different world. You can lose perspective.

To me, playing an instrument and singing, all of these different things are just as natural to me as rhyming.

You're not gonna get through life without being worshipful or devoted to something. You're either devoted to your job, or to your desires. So the best way to spend your life is to try to be devoted to prayer, to Allah.

I feel like being into the beat of your own drum has become too prominent in the culture.

You live in the image you have of the world. Every one of us lives in a different world, with different space and different time.

I'm not shy about heated debate or passionate discourse, but when people get crazy or rude, that's a buzz kill. There's got to be a better code of conduct, some basic etiquette.
