“I’m not a follower. I’m a leader. And anyone who speaks their mind is always criticised.”

I don’t like people around me sad. I like making people happy.

The thing is, I make music I like. So it’s just weird if someone says they don’t like it.

I tweet early in the morning when I wake up or late at night just to let you know that I have a show or what’s on my mind, and that’s it. I hate Snapchat and all of that. It’s making kids so stupid.

Usually, when I’m rappin’, I’m creating a big story or a concept song that sounds like a movie to me.

I’m hungry for VMAs and Grammys. That’s my main goal.

I’m a big ‘Goosebumps’ fan – ‘Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes.’ My favorites are the pick-your-own-death ones.

I’m a pretty nice dude. I have fun, and people take it the wrong way.

I want to make as much money as I possibly can so that when my day comes, my mother and sister is fine. My close friends are fine. They don’t have to worry about anything ever again.

Rap is really just too conventional. Everybody does the same thing. No one ever pushes the box.

If the world was ending, I think I would grab some Cinnamon Toast Crunch, a bunch of water, and I’d probably just I’d probably go crazy.

My lyrics aren’t offensive. Some people find everything offensive.

I think, if I had a dad, I would have went the normal college route. I’m so stoked my life panned out how it was.

I like my raps, but I’m never too happy with some of ’em because I feel like they could be better.

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.

If you never get criticized, chances are you aren’t getting anything done.

Criticism is the essence of creation.

Dare to risk public criticism.

I like to not care that much about criticism, but I do care about it.

I don’t look at the criticism anymore. If somebody calls me fat, even in a vulnerable moment, I laugh to myself and think, I’m doing everything I can, so there’s nothing I can do about it.

Hateful, racist and ignorant remarks. When I hear people criticize without knowing the context, it makes me boil inside.

Know that the amount of criticism you receive may correlate somewhat to the amount of publicity you receive.

It isn’t making mistakes that’s critical; it’s correcting them and getting on with the principal task.
