“Tattoos, for me, are like a timeline of my life. I could look at a certain tattoo, and it reminds of me of a certain time in my life and why I got that tattoo.”

At the end of the day, people have the right to have opinions. I have the right to have an opinion. And I have the right to say what I want on my music ’cause it’s my music. If you don’t like it, don’t click on it, don’t download it.

I’m focused on what I’m doing and nothing can stop that.

Social media is so powerful now, and with all these blog sites and YouTube channels and videos, it makes it more and more relevant to bridge artists together.

I know it’s my fault I should’ve gave more.

I’ve always been a fan of music. I would say I’m a fan of late ’90s to early 2000s rap. That’s where I get all my inspiration from.

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 try to think of myself as a chic fishing grandpa aesthetically.

The arts are not just a nice thing to have or to do if there is free time or if one can afford it. Rather, paintings and poetry, music and fashion, design and dialogue, they all define who we are as a people and provide an account of our history for the next generation.

Men of factious tempers, of local prejudices, or of sinister designs, may, by intrigue, by corruption, or by other means, first obtain the suffrages, and then betray the interests, of the people.

We frustrate many designs against us by pretending not to see them.

I never design a building before I’ve seen the site and met the people who will be using it.

We have no longer an outside and an inside as two separate things. Now the outside may come inside and the inside may and does go outside. They are of each other. Form and function thus become one in design and execution if the nature of materials and method and purpose are all in unison.

The only thing wrong with architecture is architects.

I got this Jesus tattoo on my wrist when I was 18 because I know that it’s always going to be a part of me. When I’m playing, it’s staring right back at me, saying, ‘Remember where you came from.’
