My brands are an extension of me. They're close to me. It's not like running GM, where there's no emotional attachment.

Your future is ahead of you. Imagine the notion of the past fifteen years of your life being a blip in your story.
Jay-Z
Everybody look at you strange, say you changed Like you work that hard to stay the same.
Jay-Z
Electing a black man named Barack Obama President in the same country that elected George W. Bush - twice! - is as far-fetched as a hustler from Marcy performing at that President's inauguration. But it happened.
Jay-Z
By the time I got to record my first album, I was 26, I didn't need pen or paper - my memory had been trained just to listen to a song, think of the words, and lay them to tape.
Jay-Z
When people say stuff like, Oh, that's soft rock. I don't listen to that, I find that elitist. It's music-racist.
Jay-Z
When I listen to great music, the first thing I wonder is what people were saying when this came out of the speakers in the studio. I want to know what happened when they played it and said, This is the one!
Jay-Z
I got mouths to feed til they put flowers on me.
Jay-Z
I had success. I had a number one record. I had a number one album. I have to make this kind of record again or else I'm going to lose it all. That's how you end up making the same song over and over.
Jay-Z
For me, being with Obama or having dinner with Bill Clinton... It's crazy. It's mind-blowing, because where I come from is just another world. We were just ignored by politicians, by America in general.
Jay-Z
I smoked some weed, and that's how I finished 'Izzo.'
Jay-Z
I was forced to be an artist and a CEO from the beginning, so I was forced to be like a businessman because when I was trying to get a record deal, it was so hard to get a record deal on my own that it was either give up or create my own company.
Jay-Z
Ex-D-boy, used to park my Beamer Now look at me, I can park in my own arena
Jay-Z
When you're growing up, your dad is your superhero. Once you've let yourself fall that in love with someone, once you put him on such a high pedestal and he lets you down, you never want to experience that pain again.
Jay-Z
Without the work, the magic won’t come.
Jay-Z
I'm not concerned with noise because I'm playing the long game.
Jay-Z
The day Obama got elected, the gangsta became less relevant.
Jay-Z
A wise man told me don't argue with fools. Cause people from a distance can't tell who is who.
Jay-Z
The genius thing that we did was, we didn't give up.
Jay-Z
Remind yourself. Nobody built like you, you design yourself.
Jay-Z
Successful people have a bigger fear of failure than people who've never done anything because if you haven't been successful, then you don't know how it feels to lose it all.
Jay-Z
