“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’m not a follower. I’m a leader. And anyone who speaks their mind is always criticised.

I don’t like people around me sad. I like making people happy.

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

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 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.

I was seeing the effects of what music can do — how it can be healing and bring people joy, but on the flip side, there was this ugliness. I saw the greed and the He-Mans that were willing to f*ck over children.

music heard so deeply That it is not heard at all, but you are the music While the music lasts.

It’s funny: I don’t listen to too much rap. I don’t listen to too much older hip-hop. If I do, it’s Ja Rule.

The only proof he needed for existence of god was music.

I don’t really write. I’m an on-the-spot type of person. This beat, let’s listen to it; let’s vibe. And then I’ll do a melody, and then we’ll go back and do it.

Music fills the infinite between two souls

Music is what I love, take that away from me and I really got nothing.

There is no feeling, except the extremes of fear and grief, that does not find relief in music.
