Music is my therapy.

You’ll never progress if you never try

Why try to fit in when you a stand out?

Take away what we love, wed all be Joe Paterno.

Project X now, but it started as a Hunger Game.

Maybe I'm regular and the world needs to adjust?

Even at my lowest I was sittin on my high stool.

Life is like a beach chair when you can afford one

I don't wanna join the Hair Club For Men or anything.

Destiny made a mistake and gave my fate to someone else.

It's hard - it's difficult to tell when your buzz is at its peak.

My mom's mission my entire teenage years was just to save my life.

Sometimes you gotta stand by your failures to recognize your success

And I'll never let myself down..How so? I don't expect too much from me.

I always viewed myself as kind of hip-hop's outcast, or hip-hop's stepson.

Don't ask for a cig' - I'm so self-centered, I won't even share this cancer.

You'll never get me to speak religion. You'll never get me to speak politics.

You take music out of life and love. I don't want to be on a planet without music.

At Revolt, everyone's always open minded and always coming together for a solution.

God I hear you giving me an earfull but I'm gonna cruise in 5th gear until I'm near you.

I've never been platinum. I've never sold out an arena. I've never been on an arena tour.

They say I'm difficult, so to put it simply....tell the world I never cared it was against me

Look, sometimes the truth could hurt you so I blow my cig smoke right at the truth commercial.

I'm such a spiritual man. I think that displayed in the music throughout the course of my career.

I loved love til' it resented me, and if it's still a stranger then I love who it pretends to be.

Where I'm at physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually usually dictates where my music goes.

Up late talking to the fans on a website, That's the only thing that send ya man off to bed right

I tried to make the best music that I could possibly make, and then nothing was ever good enough.

Joe Budden TV is life through the eyes of Joe Budden. You've gotta go check it out - it's pretty fun.

Leave the past in the past, tomorrows not promised and Todays just a gift i guess thats why its the present

I'm a firm believer in my higher power havin' a plan, and he's never wrong, and he's not open to suggestions.

I'm not in a competition with any other artist, anything that's goin' on - I'm strictly competing with myself.

Whatever you goin' through, could always be much worse, Don't make a mistake, mistakin' your blessings for a curse.

In my world, even sure bets are not certain; 'Cause you'll get the picture, then find out it's the cropped version.

I've always been outspoken. I've always been honest. I've always said things that maybe other people were afraid to say.

My relationship with my first child was nonexistent. I was broke and I was a new rapper whose career was spiraling downward.

I came up in battling and just wanting to compete. Even if you had no real problem with someone, you just wanted to compete.

Certain majors [lables] just know what they're doin', and got a good grip on the dynamic of what's happening, and some don't.

It's one of my short-term goals, to be able to actually record music and release it simultaneously and not just hold on to it.

A few more albums, a few more years, I'll be like Peter Petrelli in Heroes. I'll be some type of rap super-monster or something.

I remember a day and time when the streets indicated what was hot online, and now I think it's starting to reverse a little bit.

Music kept me sane. I love music too much. I'm too passionate about music to let anything or anyone come in between me and my love.

I'm trying my best to keep things exactly the same. Spotify hasn't changed my process other than doubling up. We do twice a week now.

Most important to me is being able to release music and have an astounding relationship with whoever would be distributing the music.

Remember the Titans' is one of my favorites, not so much because of the actual record, but because there's so many different backstories.

State of the Culture' is more mature content. We want to go as deep as we can on whatever the subject matter is, we're not there to joke.

I'm lookin' forward to doin' a lot of big things. I've been doin' a lot of big things: a lot of traveling, a lot of recording - I'm excited.

Actually, after 'All Love Lost' I was so drained creatively that I didn't have any clue where I wanted to go. So I just started from scratch.

You want attention, you want support, you want to be treated properly, and I don't wanna have to go anywhere and teach people how to treat me.

Yeah, well I've had a record deal for a long time so I'm kinda used to the cameras and the people, I'm used to dealing with peoples' opinions.
