“I’m a pretty nice dude. I have fun, and people take it the wrong way.”

The thing is, I make music I like. So it’s just weird if someone says they don’t like it.

I tweet early in the morning when I wake up or late at night just to let you know that I have a show or what’s on my mind, and that’s it. I hate Snapchat and all of that. It’s making kids so stupid.

Usually, when I’m rappin’, I’m creating a big story or a concept song that sounds like a movie to me.

I’m hungry for VMAs and Grammys. That’s my main goal.

I’m a big ‘Goosebumps’ fan – ‘Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes.’ My favorites are the pick-your-own-death ones.

I want to make as much money as I possibly can so that when my day comes, my mother and sister is fine. My close friends are fine. They don’t have to worry about anything ever again.

Rap is really just too conventional. Everybody does the same thing. No one ever pushes the box.

If the world was ending, I think I would grab some Cinnamon Toast Crunch, a bunch of water, and I’d probably just I’d probably go crazy.

My lyrics aren’t offensive. Some people find everything offensive.

I think, if I had a dad, I would have went the normal college route. I’m so stoked my life panned out how it was.

I like my raps, but I’m never too happy with some of ’em because I feel like they could be better.

I want to take Justin Bieber for a month and just lock him up in a cage where we sit and make music. He’s one of the most successful people in the world, but his music could be so much tighter.

I want to do films and have my name mentioned next to Wes Anderson and Quentin Tarantino. I don’t want my name mentioned next to other rappers at all.

I think I’m cool. That’s all that matters.

For the record, I don’t worship the devil. I just hate religion.

I never had a drink in my life. I don’t smoke or anything.

Character matters; leadership descends from character.

When you’re doing a character, you want to know the full landscape. You want to know them spiritually, mentally and physically.

One of the first things I was taught as an actor was, ‘Don’t judge the character.’

When you play characters, you shouldn’t just be putting on their characteristics – you should be finding it inside yourself.

You’re not free unless you can show the good and the bad, all sides of them. So to me, when I play a character, it’s important that I can show every aspect of them.

I try to look at every role the same way, regardless of whether the character is real or the character is a fantasy. I always start from myself, because you have to know yourself first.

I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.

When your intelligence don’t tell you something ain’t right, your conscience gives you a tap you on the shoulder and says ‘Hold on’. If it don’t, you’re a snake.
