Strong men, men who are truly role models, don’t need to put down women to make themselves feel powerful.

Together, we can help make sure that every family that walks into a restaurant can make an easy, healthy choice.

The realities are that, you know, as a black man, you know, Barack can get shot going to the gas station, you know.

No country can ever truly flourish if it stifles the potential of its women and deprives itself of the contributions of half its citizens.

People who are truly strong lift others up. People who are truly powerful bring others together.

I advise young women: Negotiate hard and know your worth.

And every person can benefit from talking to somebody. I’m the most anti-medication person, but some people need medicine, and there was a time where I needed some too.

I still indulge in a glass of wine or chocolate – treats are mandatory. Without deviating from the day-to-day healthy diet once in a while, it wouldn’t be sustainable for me, and that’s what I wanted: an approach to eating to last my entire life.

You have good days and bad days, and depression’s something that, y’know, is always with you.

The healthy stomach is nothing if it is not conservative. Few radicals have good digestions.

Use your health, even to the point of wearing it out. That is what it is for. Spend all you have before you die; do not outlive yourself.

I think it’s important for us to have open conversations about mental health, especially with me being black, because we’ve never had therapists in the black community, we’ve never taken medication. I think it was good that when I had my first complete blackout at age 5, my mom didn’t fully medicate me, because I might not have fully been Ye.

Vaccination is the medical sacrament corresponding to baptism.

Not only is it a part of my life, I need to bring awareness to the severity of Lyme disease.

My advice would be to talk to people about [your anxiety]. Don’t feel alone in it. Treat your body as if you are another person that you need to take care of and heal.

If today I can practice a sport, and move around 90% of the time without a cane, it’s because of the love and support of my producers, record labels and above all my audience who have always believed in me. Otherwise I wouldn’t have made much more progress than I did in the hospital.

No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.

The patient is not likely to recover who makes the doctor his heir.

I keep healthy and I’m always very active and always have been so. I don’t really see any signs of aging yet. Music keeps you young.

Exercise is labor without weariness.

A lot of people undermine their own anxiety because they’re like…nothing’s necessarily going wrong. It just happens and it’s just inside of you and that’s not something you should be ashamed of. It’s justified because it’s happening.
