“I can be proud of and understand why they’re being told. I do watch a lot of films and TV, but sometimes I think: “Why the hell did you make that then?” I won’t say what they are though.”

A lot of the problems of parenthood are universal.

Yes, it’s harder being younger and growing up yourself, but all those anxieties and problems are going to be faced by anyone at any age.

I think the performances that really communicate with me are the ones where I don’t feel like I’m watching someone and thinking: “They’re doing some really good acting.”

I would like, in my life, to always be doing things I’m proud of. I know that probably won’t happen all the time. But I’d prefer to be telling stories.

Maybe in some ways, it makes me think: “Do you know what? Some people think I’m alright, so maybe I should go into a job thinking I’m not rubbish.” But I don’t really think about it.

I want to be involved in things I can be really proud of. There’s a lot of bad films being made and I don’t understand how they got the money for it.

I think that’s so powerful and cinema and TV has so much power.

When people hear about teenage parents and teenage pregnancy, they attribute a lot of personality traits to those individuals, which is just such a bizarre thing when you really think about it.

So, it’s nice but I wouldn’t want to go into something feeing like I needed to prove that I was good enough to be there.

That said, there’s a lot of bad telly, but there’s also a lot of very high quality that is something I’d be much more proud of than a mediocre film.

It’s when I’m literally completely consumed by the story-telling and the actor or actress is evoking something in me.

I really hope that I can be as good as some people think I can be. But I may never work again… and that’s the reality of the film industry.

Like, how does age and circumstance equate to some kind of personality trait?

God didn’t make me to make movies, flex muscles, buy gold. What you love the most becomes your God.

I still love to walk on stage and make people laugh, and I work very, very hard at it, and I take it seriously.

I used to always be in Atlanta, chilling. I didn’t really have as much to do. So I would gamble as a hobby. Now I’d rather go into the studio and try to make me a hit.

If you’re a young black dude from the hood you want to come through the hood in a car that makes a lot of noise.

To be totally understanding makes one very indulgent.

The rap game is kinda crazy, so I go with the flow but make sure that I cover my bases and do whatever to make sure I’m good no matter what.

If I never make another dollar, I am proud. I did what I wanted to do.

The Migos, like anybody I ever been in the studio with, like an influence on my rap. I take this from him and him and him and, you know, put it with myself and make it work like that.
