“I want to make my own path and leave behind a good legacy for myself and honestly, I just want to be innovative and always down for other people. That’s what I want to be remembered by. I want to inspire.”

A lot of energy and excitement – that’s what a lot of my shows are, energy and excitement.

Who people like is their own business. It don’t concern me. I know what I do – and I’m having a lot of fun with the women that I’m with.

I know that women are smarter than men. I don’t wanna sound like I’m on a bandwagon for chicks but I do love ’em, can’t front. Women are smarter than men. I know I gotta lot of chicks up my sleeve but you guys are twice as good.

You ready? I have gold teeth, I have braids, I’m wearing Rick Owens moon boots, I have rips in my denim, a biker vest, I love artsy girls, my favourite artists are Jimi Hendrix and John Lennon. I’m obsessed with being different.

I thought highly of myself growing up. I still do. There’s not really much somebody can say to me to bring down my confidence or anything.

I treat everybody equal, and so I want to be sure that my listeners and my followers do the same if they’re gonna represent me. And if I’m gonna represent them, then I also want to do it in a good way.

I wanted to model when I was younger.

People don’t make albums any more. It’s always about singles. I wanted to take that old-school approach.

There’s just so much out there and so much inspiration… I just want to be tasteful.

It bring a tear to my eye to see native New York people give me my props because New York is stubborn and arrogant.

I’m not glorifying it at all, I’m just basically telling you that sometimes I have suicidal thoughts. And maybe I should seek help, or maybe it’s not that deep.

When I started, I was 23 years old directing my own music videos; I’m co-producing on my album; I’m hands-on with everything. I’m more than just a pretty boy: I’m an artist. I’m not saying I’m a hip-hop music artist, I’m an artiste.

Why can’t I be friends with somebody who’s gay? Why not? You can miss out on a lot by being so small-minded and stereotypical about people. It’s stupid.

I dress how I feel. I just go off emotion. I can’t prepare my outfit a day before. Everything I wear is spontaneous.

I didn’t want to be a loser, but I didn’t want to fit in at the same time because I don’t like just being ordinary. So it’s one of those situations where I always kept my head up.

With clothes, I like mixing what different designers do until it becomes a personal expression of how I’m feeling that day.

My dream is to live a good life and be loving, be close to God and be a good human being and bring peace to people.

Good Times Become Good Memories, But Bad Times Make Good Lessons.

God is always trying to give good things to us, but our hands are too full to receive them.

There is no limit to the amount of good you can do if you don’t care who gets the credit.

Quakers almost as good as colored. They call themselves friends and you can trust them every time.

Where the good and the bad and the worst and the best have gone to their eternal rest.

There are times when fear is good. It must keep its watchful place at the heart’s controls.

It is difficult to bring people to goodness with lessons, but it is easy to do so by example.
