“I can’t say any artist inspired me, because I’m inspired by the things that go on around me.”

Man, all lives matter.

Never break or fold, that’s what it takes to be major.

I’m not no Internet person.

I always knew who I was, and I always ran from my true purpose. I know what my job is. And I always ran from it.

I’ve had mixtapes that have been better than albums I’ve heard from other artists. I take my time; I put my heart into it.

A hot producer might not make a hot beat for me. I just love music.

Coming up in the streets, I had to learn how to read people early on. I’m a very analytical person. I observe a lot of the things that people don’t notice.

Why accept failure when success is free?

I don’t really like talking. I like to execute. I’m not a talking person. I’m an action person.

It is illegal to steal my feelings and leave.

I suffer from deep depression, so my only release is music.

I’ve always been a loner.

I love God, I love everybody else around me as myself, and I love my enemy.

I put my flaws on front street. So the world accepted my flaws, so I don’t have any flaws.

I was always taught not to answer no questions. I’m not really good at answering them because I get agitated so fast.

Out my window. I see everything I dream about and wished I had.

Feeling more comfortable onstage is something I’ve worked on – it’s really about just being the artist I am.

It took time to really build myself a reputation as a good live performer, a musician and an artist.

Some of you are doomed to be artists.

What people don’t understand is that how you are as an artist depends on how you are emotionally.

It makes me sad when I see artists who come alive when they go onstage, because, gee, I really come alive when I’m home.

Be your own artist, and always be confident in what you’re doing. If you’re not going to be confident, you might as well not be doing it.

You can tell an honest artist from one who’s just given all their songs.

I love my body. I’m very much OK with it. I don’t think artists are ever the ones who have the problem with their weight, it is other people.
