“On the road as an artist u start to crave the studio.”

I’m not worried about making a certain type of music or sticking to one type of music.

For the money, I’m a savage.

Honestly, never meant to offend anybody. i apologize if i did. had no bad intentions. got offered a ride in the humvee and took it.

I worked so hard for all this shit.

I just want to keep making music and see where everything goes.

I ain’t rich yet, but you know I ain’t broke.

I wanna go up there and I don’t ever wanna come down.

If ignorance is bliss, then don’t wake me up.

I didn’t have no friends or nothing. I was a nerdy kid.

We were on the low, but you were getting high with me.

I need some more reasons to live out this evening.

They told me to quit, I don’t listen to what I’m told.

A lot of people judged me. I like the way it looks, so you have to be confident.

They like, Savage, why you got a 12 car garage And you only got 6 cars?

Don’t try to change anyone, change how you deal with them.

It’s true drinkin will kill ya, but if you’re drunk you don’t care.

I never think about myself as an artist working in this time. I think about it in macro.

You don’t hear no artists from Compton showing vulnerability.

As an artist myself I don’t like to be preached. I want to enjoy myself, so I kind of use that perspective to make music.

An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way.

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

I love, love, love just being hands on at all times in the studio.

Do not strive to be a modern artist: it’s the one thing, unfortunately, you can’t help being.

My mother encouraged me to be artistic. It was written in a contract at an early age that I would be an artist.
