Being a good writer doesn’t make you a good reporter, it takes hustle.
Mine's a pretty simple strategy: there's not a lot of talent here, but there's a lot of hustle. I have to be in every place I can, and be busy.
Writing is hustling of another kind.
Fear is the disease. Hustle is the antidote.
I like that band Get Hustle. They're cool live. I haven't heard their records, though.
There are three people's careers I'd like to meld together into my own. . . Jay Z's for his business mindset, Macklemore's hustle as an independent artist, and Bob Marley's impact on the world and how refined and genuine his music is to this day.
The first movie I ever saw was a blaxploitation movie. It was called 'Monkey Hustle. ' Like I said, just listen to the name. That's a blaxploitation movie. It had these incredible, bigger-than-life images of people who looked like I did. Or who looked like I wanted to look like.
I rarely use the Internet for research, as I find the process cumbersome and detestable. The information gained is often untrustworthy and couched in execrable prose. It is unpleasant to sit in front of a twitching screen suffering assault by virus, power outage, sluggish searches, system crashes, the lack of direct human discourse, all in an atmosphere of scam and hustle.
I just figured out hustles to get by, like maybe selling my clothes. I wanted to travel around and be broke and live in sketchy apartments.
I'm from where your hustle determines your salary.
I learned to read but not to comprehend, and that might well have stood me in good stead, because what's there to understand, really? Everything I later learned to understand was unspeakably ugly anyway. In time, I bought some rulebooks and squeezed my way onto the honor roll, but, decades later, I've been pointed toward people described as "actively dying" who only now and then seemed to be going about it friskily. There was mostly no hustle I could notice.
I love creating music and television and film. I love the hustle, I love the grind, I love working sixteen- and eighteen-hour days and waking up at four the next morning and going to the gym. I love that.
You can hate me, but why knock my hustle? I'ma be the queen no matter how they shuffle.
You're nothing to me until you're everything
Hustle is waking up the day before you die and realising you gave it your all.
You can't have a million dollar dream with a minimum wage work ethic.
Fear is the disease. Hustle is the antidote Whatever it is that you’re afraid of, go after it.
Maybe I'm biased because I'm from there. It's close enough to New York but it's not swallowed up by New York's hustle and bustle. Philly's busy enough. There are tons of record stores and record-head friends and plenty of D. I. Y. shows. It's a place where people pass through and bands don't usually skip on tour. There are lots of music resources but it's not too over the top.
I'm sharp. What the street taught me how to do is how to hustle. How to make something out of nothing.
There is an unlucky tendency. . . to allow every new invention to add to life's complications, and every new power to increase life's hustling; so that, unless we can dominate the mischief, we are really the worse off instead of the better.
