“Being old didn't seem like an accomplishment. Everyone I knew who was ...” — Brent Faiyaz Quote

“Being old didn't seem like an accomplishment. Everyone I knew who was old was like sick or broke. It just didn't look appealing until I moved to L.A. and started interacting with people who were 50+ and still kicking it, having money, living large.”

“People will listen to a song and expect that you just have that persona on all the time. But really, that was your one outlet that one day to get that emotion out. The only difference was you put it on a canvas that's going to be there forever.”

“Each time you get a job you really want, there's a feeling of accomplishment, you feel like you're in stride with yourself, where everything seems to line up, the stars or whatever they are. That great, great feeling of accomplishment.”

“I'm less worried about accomplishment - as younger people always can't help but be - and more concerned with spending my time well, spending time with my family, and reading, learning things.”

“An uplifting sense of purpose is more than an impetus for individual accomplishment, it is also a necessary insurance policy against expediency and impropriety.”
