“I never want to grow up.”

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.

Somebody called me a homophobe. I’m not homophobic.

I don’t like being put in a box. I just make music, you know?

I’m an optimistic guy. I’m one of those big dreamers. I’m one of those kids with that annoying imagination.

I’m like a big 10-year-old when I’m on stage. I just go up there and do whatever I think is cool at the moment.

I wasn’t shy, but I was really hyper. Nobody got my sense of humor. I was a black skater kid.

I really want to sing, but my tone of voice is really too deep to do what I want.

I don’t really listen to rap; I just like to rap.

Humans have voids, and you need things to fill voids, I didn’t have a dad to fill that male model void, so when I heard Eminem or freaking seen Dave Chapelle, that’s what I gravitated to.

I just live life. I grew up in a Christian family, but, you know, the way Mom brought me up is to, you know, do you, to always be yourself.

I’m not into fashion, but I like design. I wear the same shoes every day.

Can you picture yourself at the age 60 doing what you do now?

This is the curse of our age, even the strangest aberrations are no cure for boredom.

We should think about whether canonizations, which are an invention of the Middle Ages, still make sense today.

At age 11, I went to a Jewish school. I speak Yiddish. I’m Church of England Protestant. My father was Catholic, and my mother was Protestant. My wife is a Muslim.

I love women. I actually prefer girls, as a parent, because they disappoint at a different age. They go through that, “Dad’s an idiot,” which lasted a little longer than I’d like.

Can’t Stop Dancing’ is this other side of me that I was ready to introduce to my fans, which is like, after you hang out with me, you start to see that I can be chilled and relaxed, and I’m a little bit more mature for my age.

It is my art. I am better at it than I ever was. And I will do it as long as I can. When you reach a certain age you can slough off what is unnecessary and concentrate on what is. And why not?

In human years I am 29. In actress years I’m the ripe, promising age of 18 to 35. That’s how it works here in Hollywood.
