You gotta water your plants. Nobody can water them for you.
DJ Khaled
Love is the most powerful thing in the world, and you know, what love brings is joy.
Fresh sneakers are important on a man. It's like a new pair of boxers or a new pair of socks.
Don't ever play yourself.
I've been blessed to be somebody that's been climbing that success mountain top for years of hard work, you know, but now it's all connecting. And now, the whole world is watching, you know what I'm saying, and it feels good 'cause it's good energy. This is all positive vibes, and good vibes and good energy, so it feels incredible.
We all want to win more, but it's all about being blessed and embracing your blessings. We have life.
I put cocoa butter all over my face and my iconic belly and my arms and legs. Why live rough? Live smooth.
I'm all about peace. I'm all about unity. I'm all about love.
I wake up every day inspiring myself, because God gave me life.
At the end of the day, I understand that life has road blocks, and life is like school - you'll be tested; we gotta pass it.
Basically what I'm trying to tell you is that it's almost impossible to drive a jet ski at night time unless you're in a city with lights lit up so you can navigate. Besides being pitch black, that water turn black at night. Listen, I don't recommend it.
I would love to work with Eminem, Dr. Dre. I wish I could have been in the studio with Bob Marley.
Sometimes, you might meet somebody that you love that's turning into a 'they.' My key is invite them to Miami and take them to the ocean and let them jump off the boat in the ocean, on the sand bar, and cleanse off and pray and then go take a shower, and hopefully the 'they' is out of you.
Imagine your family finally making it from nothing to something, and finally getting things going, and finally buying a beautiful house and taking care of your children - and the next day, it's completely all gone. Zero. Boom. Flat broke. So that's when I had to man up.
I remember I used to sleep on my records. In a room with no furniture. I remember I used to sleep in my car.
That's when you know you're the greatest: when you're the greatest, and people still put odds against you.
I always make my dreams into goals.
Put it this way: If I asked, 'How's business?' and you say, 'Boomin' or 'Amazing,' I already know the answer.
For a date night with my girlfriend, we go to Zuma for Japanese.
We want justice, but at the same time, we gotta love and come together and bring unity, and I feel it's gonna happen.
You gotta understand: I believe a woman should praise the man, the king. If you holding it down for your woman, I feel like the woman should praise. And the man should praise the queen.
It's safe to say headphones is a good business.
For me to talk with Obama and the conversation I had with him, I was letting him know that me and my fans have a special connection, and it's love, and I believe that love is the answer.
One of my major keys is actually the master keys: God.
I always wanted to have a headphone line but I feel like I'm going to do more than just headphones eventually, but we want to wake the world up right now with this.
Every album, I make big records. I'm going to always make an anthem. That's what I do.
I love having an unlimited supply of cocoa butter.
I'm definitely gaining new fans, and that's the key of any success... gain more love.
Fan Luv is a powerful positive movement. All over the world they come. It's a force of luv.
No one ever told me I should eat egg whites or drink a gallon of water each day.
I've always been a fan of the VMAs, and I've always worked hard just to get a ticket to go to the VMAs.
I'm the king of the anthems.
To keep the business going, you gotta keep it boomin'.
Meeting President Obama was amazing. Very inspiring.
I love stuff from the Holy Land. It makes me feel blessed.
If I'm in the 'hood, I like Chef Creole's Haitian rice and stewed chicken.
At the end of the day, I pray for the best.
Love to everybody who is out there progressing and taking things to the next level.
Basically, I'm one of the greatest producers ever. And I'm also one of the greatest DJs ever. And I'm also one of the best executives ever.
Nicki Minaj, I'm at MTV. I'm going to be honest with you: I love you. I like you. I want you; I want you to be mine. Only reason I'm not telling you this face to face is because I understand that you're busy.
I remember they used to tell me, they said, 'Khaled, you can't get a Rolls-Royce; you need to get one of them small ones.' So I went and bought a Phantom.
'They' are the people that don't believe in you, that say that you won't succeed. We stay away from 'They.'
I feel real good because it's about representing the young world and how to uplift each other and how to push us to be greater and make sure we don't fall or get trapped or get in trouble, you know what I mean. Stay focused, you know what I mean.
It confuses me and disappoints me when somebody says, 'What does he do? What does he do?' My records are some of the biggest anthems ever. What do you think, they magically just appear? Obama walked out to my record.
The key is to vote because we need a vote to put the people in power that we want to represent us.
Every summer's mine.
Even before Snapchat, you go back into my career from Day One or interview people that knew me for 25 years, they're going to tell you I've been DJ Khaled my whole life.
When I inspire myself, I want to spread the word because its important to be healthy. I don't think they're teaching us enough about that. I think we should eat better and exercise. Look who's saying that - a guy who was 300 pounds - but I'm doing a lot better than I used to. I'm letting people know its important because it makes you feel better.
Key is never be afraid of being yourself. Never!
All my records and videos were groundbreaking.
