“Grind together and shine together.”

Since you wanna test them waters, might as well jump in with both feet.

Just to know that the people in my city are really rocking with me, I just love it.

I definitely feel like people in the South are a little more raw. Our whole swag, the way we talk, When I go to the East Coast, people automatically know I’m not from there.

Girls, we have to go 10 times harder than guys. We are still expected to give you the bars, give you the look, give you the routine. This is me – I wanna be a rapper, this is it.

I was an only child so, at home, I’m turnt up by myself, doing whatever I wanna do.

He probably thinkin’ I’m in pain, but I’m really on game.

Houston is a place where you have to be the best. Everybody gotta be flashy, flashy. It’s not like a gaudy thing, but people definitely put on their best dressed even if they go into Wal-Mart.

I didn’t tell anybody that I wanted to rap when I was in high school.

To be a Hottie you gotta have a lot of self-love, a lot of confidence, you gotta be able to put your foot down. Hotties are supposed to turn other people into Hotties too. If you see someone that’s not quite confident, you gotta be the Hottie to gas up your friend.

When I drop a freestyle, I’m like, ‘This freestyle gotta go hard’ or when I do something it’s, ‘How can we top this?’

She thinks she bad but I’m better.

I’m lookin’ paid and pretty.

I wanna work with my girl Maliibu Miitch. I love Maliibu. I definitely wanna work with Beyonce, Rihanna. I’m a huge fan of Rihanna and Beyonce, so that’s like my dream collab.

When you go to college you can just be whoever you wanna be. So I got there and I’m like, ‘Yeah, I’ma rapper.’

I like movies that make you semi fall in love with the villain so you have sympathy for him.

I just want to be like a good example to somebody in the future.

I try to take a couple of young guys under my wing and tell them what I’ve learned, because you can’t teach nobody if you don’t know anything.

Some guys may play around and say a couple of things, but if I say it, I mean it. I may laugh, it may be funny, but if I say I’m going to get you, I’m going to get you.

I don’t care who anybody sleeps with. If a couple has been together all that time – and there are gay relationships that are more solid than some heterosexual ones – I think it’s fine if they want to get married. I don’t know how people can get so anti-something.

I wanna be your t-shirt when it’s wet, I wanna be your shower when you sweat.

We [with Andrew Ridgeley] didn’t expect people to take it seriously. But naturally they did, and they thought we were a couple of wankers.

That’s actually how my parents met. They were pen pals. My mom was in the Philippines and my father was in the States, and they wrote to each other. He went out to meet her, and they wed not too long after.

I read a lot when I’m travelling and always have a couple of books on the go.

Summer looks the same. But last summer she loved me.
