“I noticed that difference early on, like if you were successful in rock 'n' roll, that was a really bad thing, you almost had to hide it. You had these guys selling 200 million records with dirty T-shirts on. I was like, 'Come on, man. Come on. We know you're successful.' Hip-hop is more about attaining wealth. People respect success. They respect big. They don't even have to like your music. If you're big enough, people are drawn to you.” PeopleIfsKnowsMenEnoughBigsGuyDifferencesWealthMillionsSuccessfulRecordsRocksLike YouHip HopSellingHipsDirtyShirtsHopsBad ThingsRock N RollT Shirt Author:Jay-Z

“My last point about getting started as a writer: do something first, good or bad, successful or not, and write it up before approaching an editor. The best introduction to an editor is your own written work, published or not. I traveled across Siberia on my own money before ever approaching an editor; I wrote my first book, Siberian Dawn, without knowing a single editor, with no idea of how to get it published. I had to risk my life on the Congo before selling my first magazine story.

“The Roman Catholic Church is an institution for whose gains the phrase "ill-gotten" might have been specially invented.
