“When I made ‘Good Life’ I was very rich…already…uhm…but if I think back to when I was making ‘The College Dropout’ thinking that was this what I expected, I mean I didn’t expect the loses, I didn’t expect everything to work out well—but I expected real life. And then I suffered the worst pains to help me to grow. So those experiences, I’d never ask to take them away because they’re all in God’s plan and help make me the man I am today, and help make me more of a soldier and a vessel. Because if I hadn’t suffered those losses I might be scared or too scared to fight the war on traditional thinking.”
