“The reception on 'P2' has been crazy. Every show on the tour has been ...” — Dave East Quote

The reception on 'P2' has been crazy. Every show on the tour has been sold-out. I didn't think people were gonna catch on to it that quick because I started the tour the same day it came out.

It took mad failures for me to start to win.

I'm never gonna sell my soul or violate myself for no amount of dollars or fame.

After the first three or four years of me taking rap seriously, it started to look more promising. I started booking shows and more people were playing my music, so I starting believing this could actually work for me.

I always had a gift with writing. I can really write. I always felt like I can write movies or somehow get into that.

I spend as much time with my kids as any mom who stays home. I only work during the hours they're at school, but there is always the sense of trying to catch up with all their stuff and not only organize my work life but also their school lives.

Here's the thing: I was charming. Well read and well spoken. Observant and even kind. In other words, I was kind of a catch. And I knew this was true. As long as you couldn't see me. If you saw me, you'd think I was the sea cow that had swallowed your catch.

Some men love truth so much that they seem to be in continual fear lest she should catch a cold on overexposure.

The key is to hit the ball first, then the sand. Even if you catch it a bit thin, you'll still get plenty of run. Hitting it fat is what you want to avoid.
