“Youth is something I never wanna take for granted. I just want to smile and live life.”

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.

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

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.

Life is very short, and there’s no time for fussing and fighting my friends.

Nothing forces us to know, What we do not want to know except pain.

Writing, at its best, is a lonely life.

Self-loathing doesn’t keep me from being happy. But that doesn’t mean I don’t struggle.

For things to change, you have to change. For things to get better, you have to get better. For things to improve, you have to improve. When you grow, everything in your life grows with you.

Our ability to live a life of love and meaning, to make the world a braver and kinder place.

The divine gift of life must be promoted, guarded, and protected from conception to its natural end.

You make my life so hard but that’s what gets me off.
