If you're doing good, they got something to say. If you're doing bad, they got something to say. So do what makes you happy. Because you see this jet? You see this private jet that we on? I got it because I did what the fuck I wanted to do. I made over a billion dollars. You know why? Because I did what the fuck I wanted to do. I'm gonna always tell Tank, do what the fuck you wanna do.
Man, I think of a lot of instances where I've been given shit for doing the things that I enjoy doing. And it is hard sometimes to hear it, to continue to have confidence in the things I'm doing, knowing I'm doing things for the right reason. Sometimes if people— if things aren't benefiting people around you, they start to give you shit for the things you're doing. I always just try to focus on doing the right things and do what makes me feel good and what helps other people. Keep doing you, you know what I mean? If you're out there doing good things for people, not hurting anybody, doing things the right way, keep at it.
