Hoodie was just a nickname I had growing up and I just wanted to have a name that would stick in peoples' minds and be a little bit funny and representative of who I am.

I'm treating every day as a special one and trying to live in the moment.

Treat every person you interact with, with the same sort of attention and respect which you hope they will give to you.

Its important to follow your dreams whatever that may be.

There're always some notorious people in the crew who are doing crazy things, but I try to keep it a little more low-key. My crazy thing is always just the show and putting all my energy into it.

My eclectic taste allows me to do something unique and not box myself in.

Money isnt what drives me, getting fans who truly understand what I'm about and want to see me live is where my head is at.

Rap is my most used medium but I don't think I approach music like a rapper would.

I love having fans of all ages but it's especially cool for me to have young fans. I hope to be a role model for kids who want to follow their dreams.

My fans are the only people who will be with me forever, all else comes and goes.

The sparkling light inside of me multiplied billion times, hoping something beautiful will come along the way.

Style is the hallmark of a temperament stamped upon the material at hand.

The spirit-world around this world of sense Floats like an atmosphere, and everywhere Wafts through these earthly mists and vapours dense A vital breath of more ethereal air.

I'm the age where we didn't have television as kids. So when I saw my nieces and nephews watching Howdy Doody, Kukla, Fran and Ollie, and so forth, I thought the world had gone mad.

If I make a song where I'm happy, I sound completely mad - I think my voice is better-suited for sadder songs.

You never know how many friends you have until you rent a house on the beach.

I love charity thrift stores. Amazing one-of-a-kind pieces at terrific prices, and all the money you spend goes to a good cause.

Irish is a leprechaun language.
