“You have writers that write about crazy characters, but that doesn’t mean the writer himself is crazy.”

The song ‘Bite the Thong’ in particular, with Damon Albarn, really encapsulates the whole dilemma of, ‘

The idea of having different characters is really just to get the storyline across, you know? Coming from one particular character makes, to me, the story boring.

Hmm, should I stay on the underground when everybody else is selling out?’ Nowadays, you can just do it – have your name-brand clothes, do songs with rock n’ rollers – and it’s not considered selling out.

I though it’d be an easy way for people to see and differentiate between characters, sorta like when an actor gains weight for a role.

I think – a lot of times in hip-hop, especially – artists get kind of pigeonholed into being ‘the guy,’ and it’s kind of limiting in a way.

Nobody knows me – I’m incognito. It’s all new, all fun.

I make hip-hop, but use Doom as a character to convey stories that a normal dude can’t.

Ever since third grade, I had a notebook and was putting together words just for fun.

Everybody nowadays rhymes, but out of the people that really, really do it well, it’s still a small community of artists.

I’m always trying to show versatility. I’m juggling, and I’m flipping fire, and I’m chewing gum and rhyming at the same time… on a unicycle, while playing the drums.

I grew up in that age, and it was memorable. But I’m down with all of it. Chuck D or Danny Brown? I feel comfortable with all of them. Word up, kid! Word up, man!

I’m back – now watch this!’ It all boils down to the music. The mask is a slight theme for people to enjoy, and it adds mystery.

The ‘Doom’ thing is to be able to come at things with a different point of view. I decided the mask would just add to the mystique of the character as well as make Doom stand out.

I might as well use it to control the story. So why not do something like throw a mask on?

I liked being able to speak to somebody and throw it back and forth, and they can’t predict what you’re going to say next.

Being older now, grown, I’m like, ‘What do we really do that’s fun?’ I’m kind of corny when you think about it. What could I rhyme about? Let me see, um, I gotta pay the rent today.

We had forgotten the art of using silence to convey emotions in our films and that’s what you seem to have mastered. You’ve used silence to great advantage in the film. It’s brilliant.

I was 18 when I was presented with the Arjuna Award. To say it feels really good would be an understatement. But I don’t know how else to convey the feeling. I am grateful for having received this prestigious award at such a young age.

I rely on people who can deliver.

The message is always going to get through. Me being able to speak is a message in itself.

May your lips convey, what your heart has buried in.- A one-sided lover
