“I really can’t speak on others, but in a sense, I feel like every artist always has their problems with the industry because we all want to have our creative way.”

My whole story is straight mythical. It’s tangible, but it’s also what life could be.

Every time I go into the studio, it’s some next level, man.

I don’t look at myself as a designer; I’m focused on music.

I was a smart kid. I went to a private school in middle school and got kicked out.

I’m a magician, like David Blaine. I could never fall.

I’m attached to the beat. The best speaks words. I love Music.

I feel like Houston is one of the leading things in music culture. Everyone loves the Houston culture. It needs to have its own monument, its own moment for artists like me, artists like Beyonce who set it off.

I see hip-hop as going in a self-managing place. It’s very culturally controlled and artist-controlled. It’s not really based on a label anymore. Everything is pretty much in the control of the artist. Which is amazing.

Beyonce is, like, the highest level. We all reach that level.

Don’t do it tomorrow. Do it now. There might not be tomorrow.

My whole story is straight mythical. It’s tangible, but it’s also what life could be.

I’m always up for collaborating with brands and people who actually design, but doing your own line is a whole other beast. I don’t think I could deal with the criticism.

I have black friends, but I don’t just hang out with black kids. I might pull up with Indian kids, white kids, black kids, whatever.

I’m just here for good times, man. I want people to have the best time ever. Especially if they’re around me.

We made a bond to neva forget.

I will be playing until the sun up.

There is no true understanding of any art without some knowledge of its philosophy. Only then does its meaning come clear.

Art for art’s sake is a philosophy of the well-fed.

Education is the art of making man ethical.

Space is the breath of art.

The Machine is Intellect mastering the drudgery of the earth that the plastic art may live; that the margin of leisure and strength by which man’s life upon earth can be made beautiful, may immeasurably widen; its function ultimately to emancipate human expression!

The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization.

Now a work of art is a work of nature, but it is a work of human nature. It is a work of the mind: and it’s a work of the mind in circumstances for an occasion which, to which, for which, and which it may be supremely natural and simple and effective.

When we speak we create.
