I don't think it was much of a forum for positive or negative feedback; it was mainly, "How can I make somebody laugh?" It wasn't a serious thing where I needed people to give me feedback.

I don't know [whether] if I didn't get paid, or my career didn't keep going where it goes, if I would keep doing music.

I think what's keeping me making music - the money is great, but I make music for the visibility.

It may look like things have gotten better, because everyone is semi-being appreciative. Not appreciative, but conscious of people being gender fluid and all those things.

I think it's very important that LGBT narratives are spoken from LGBT perspectives. I think that what I do is important as far as creating a lane for myself to be independent.

Living New York, everyone has a million hustles, so I was doing party promoting, working the doors at parties, doing that whole nightlife thing.

My love of words, alcohol, and stage antics basically cemented me as a rapper, but it wasn't a career that I wanted to do. It was just, "I like to do all these things at one time."

Not to sound egotistic, but I've gotten kind of good at it. It's something that came naturally to me, but my rapping is rooted in my writing.

I didn't choose to be a rapper; it's just my talent.

I am a rapper. The reason why I was against the whole rapper title is because I know so many people who want to be rappers and they're not.

I think when I dropped The Eulogy is when it became more [about] feedback because that's when Pitchfork wanted to review it and things like that.

I'd three times sooner go to war than suffer childbirth once.

Everybody hears, but few listen.

You can't always be pushing people away. Someday nobody'll come back.

You don't give people dignity. You affirm it.

Life is without meaning. You bring the meaning to it.

Do you believe a man can truly love a woman and constantly betray her?Never mind physically but betray her in his mind,in the very "poetry of his soul".Well,it's not easy but men do it all the time.

You cannot leave the house to take the garbage out without full-on makeup and your hair done. You have to fight for your man out there.

The most beautiful motion is that which accomplishes the greatest results with the least amount of effort.

I love the mid-length skirt. That's really appropriate, you can wear that in many different day occasions.

It is the property of fools to be always judging.
