“Lil Wayne would probably be a big musical inspiration for me, because growing up I was just the biggest Wayne fan and being able to be signed to him and watch his whole journey to the peak of his career is great.”

Close your eyes, they’ll never see your vision

At the end of the day, I don’t know what makes any artist say what he says. Everyone has a reason for whatever it is they do.

When you start to become famous, you can hop into any kind of field just because of the name you have and the credentials you have.

I could be going through something in my life that I might not want to talk about in my music because my music is the way that I escape some of those things.

Moving on is easy what your leaving behind is what makes it hard.

Every girl deserves to be treated like a princess.

That’s how you become successful, man – you gotta stay busy.

Online is online. It’s a whole other world. It’s not actually real life.

My heart beats, echoes into the cold streets where nightmares and darkness begin to meet.

Even though Prince wasn’t rapping and it was a whole different era, it shows how artists expressed themselves without saying too much, and that was the real beauty of the art.

I can make any type of music, so I wouldn’t want to describe myself as having one type of sound. I think music is about keeping it diverse.

I’m working on this fashion line that’s all inspired by Vietnam. I’m Vietnamese so a lot of the clothes are inspired by Vietnamese culture, and I’m trying to mix that with the streetwear style.

I never knew that I would be actually designing clothes or as into fashion as I am now.

Wake up everyday stronger than yesterday, face your fears and wipe your tears.

Sometimes I’ll have a whole song done without having a beat – I’ll just rap on an instrumental tempo and recreate a whole new song just around the lyrics.

The media has a lot of power, and everything I do is what I want people to see, whether it’s putting out a new single, dropping a new album, doing a new movie or new collab with a designer – this is what I want people to see.

Early in my career, I struggled with consistency, but I couldn’t get more consistent than this year.

Journalism is to politician as dog is to lamp-post.

Early in my career, I had no consistency. Now I’m the most consistent player on the tour. It feels pretty good.

I’ve worked on the urban agenda all my life. All. My. Life.

I don’t want to end my career and then start something. I like to do something while my career is still hot and I’ve always enjoyed designing.

This is my career highlight. Getting to the fourth round in the U.S. Open in my first year in the U.S. Open and first year on the tour.

One of the most rewarding moments of my career is when I’m speaking to a child who tells me they have the same speech impediment that I had to overcome and that they’re going to keep writing or sharing their voice after hearing my story.
