“I’m an optimistic guy. I’m one of those big dreamers. I’m one of those kids with that annoying imagination.”

I want to take Justin Bieber for a month and just lock him up in a cage where we sit and make music. He’s one of the most successful people in the world, but his music could be so much tighter.

I want to do films and have my name mentioned next to Wes Anderson and Quentin Tarantino. I don’t want my name mentioned next to other rappers at all.

I think I’m cool. That’s all that matters.

For the record, I don’t worship the devil. I just hate religion.

I never had a drink in my life. I don’t smoke or anything.

Somebody called me a homophobe. I’m not homophobic.

I don’t like being put in a box. I just make music, you know?

I’m like a big 10-year-old when I’m on stage. I just go up there and do whatever I think is cool at the moment.

I wasn’t shy, but I was really hyper. Nobody got my sense of humor. I was a black skater kid.

I really want to sing, but my tone of voice is really too deep to do what I want.

I don’t really listen to rap; I just like to rap.

Humans have voids, and you need things to fill voids, I didn’t have a dad to fill that male model void, so when I heard Eminem or freaking seen Dave Chapelle, that’s what I gravitated to.

I just live life. I grew up in a Christian family, but, you know, the way Mom brought me up is to, you know, do you, to always be yourself.

I never want to grow up.

I’m not into fashion, but I like design. I wear the same shoes every day.

I don’t have a therapist, so I use me as my own therapist when I’m making the music.

The biggest break in my career was getting into the Beatles in 1962. The second biggest break since then is getting out of them.

Just do your job. Get in early. Stay late, and don’t complain. Fight the big fights.

Let’s face it; God has a big ego problem. Why do we always have to worship him?

Just being a mother is making me a big, weepy mess.

Without doing the big blockbusters, I wouldn’t be able to find the money to go after little projects that I want to do.

We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers.

Something big is going on. I’m talking about a society that refuses to allow injustice just to persist without making our voices heard and without organizing to bring about effective change through our voting system.

You get a bigger paycheck if you are the hero. There is something good about it.
