“I was born in Houston, Texas. I grew up in Houston, by Missouri City. It’s, like, a suburb in the area; it’s middle-class. But I used to stay with my grandma in the hood from ages one to six.”

I always hate when, like, my favorite performer has a boring moment. Especially when they got mad hits.

I have this old Polo jacket. I’ve got to bring it wherever I go. And I have this one cape that somebody gave to me. It’s this jumpsuit with this cape on the back that this one person gave to me. It’s clutch.

I want first and foremost to help other artists, launch new names, to provide opportunities. I want to do for them what happened to me, but better.

My work ethic is crazy. I’m a producer, an artist, and a video director. I’m a producer, an artist, and a video director.

When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.

I’m big on diversity. My music is very diverse; I don’t want it to ever be typecasted.

My music isn’t rappity-rap-rap-rap.

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.

I consider myself an artist, which is, like, the most played term, but I believe it.

If she bad, she gets a pass into the tour.

I’m not a gangsta.

Yes, money is important. But it’s all about the creative process.

I remember my mom bought me one of their shirts for Easter so that I could wear Helmut Lang for Easter. That was my first piece.

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.

My parents were journalists and friends with writers, artists, and just a really interesting assortment of people, so I was exposed to all lifestyles from a young age.

Can you picture yourself at the age 60 doing what you do now?

This is the curse of our age, even the strangest aberrations are no cure for boredom.

We should think about whether canonizations, which are an invention of the Middle Ages, still make sense today.

At age 11, I went to a Jewish school. I speak Yiddish. I’m Church of England Protestant. My father was Catholic, and my mother was Protestant. My wife is a Muslim.

I love women. I actually prefer girls, as a parent, because they disappoint at a different age. They go through that, “Dad’s an idiot,” which lasted a little longer than I’d like.

Can’t Stop Dancing’ is this other side of me that I was ready to introduce to my fans, which is like, after you hang out with me, you start to see that I can be chilled and relaxed, and I’m a little bit more mature for my age.

It is my art. I am better at it than I ever was. And I will do it as long as I can. When you reach a certain age you can slough off what is unnecessary and concentrate on what is. And why not?
