I got caught shoplifting, which is not good. I was stealing for this boy that I went with at the time, and I ended up getting a three-month punishment.

Once you start overthinking it, it's like it ain't a feeling no more.

I have been singing since I was kid.

I was really artistic. I did a lot of poetry, a lot of writing.

I used to do poetry and write stories and stuff - I never really had anybody standing over my shoulder, like, "What did you write? Let me hear it." I hate that type of stuff.

Sometimes the best music is when you just put it out there.

I have always been writing but when I started rapping I was just playing around. My friends told me I needed a rap name like Breezy or G-Eazy so I went with Dreezy.

I used to sing when I was younger. I left it alone for a long time, 'cause I was like, I don't even know if I know how to sing for real.

I have always loved music.

Writing was something I always did but that turned into singing and rapping. That something that came out of my writing.

I'm really thirsty to go on tour! I love putting on a show. If the crowd ain't acting bougie, I love performing.

Wisdom mitigates the risk of being honest.

If you want to get a meaningful result: create something very complex, and then simplify it.

I trust that when people meet, we meet for a transcendent reason, and that the challenges we face in life are always lessons that serve our soul's growth.

Every child should be taught to cook in school, not just talk about nutrition all day. Good food can be made in 15 minutes. This could be the first generation where the kids teach the parents.

When people get together, we are capable of the most beautiful, amazing things. But we are also capable of genocide.

I'm patient when it comes to my career, which is unlike me, but there are no stars in my eyes.

But there isn't any second half of myself waiting to plug in and make me whole. It's there. I'm already whole.

I feel as if God had, by giving the Sabbath, given fifty-two springs in every year.

"You're next, after the feather dancers." And you had to get their attention, because otherwise people would go, "Oh, a poet." You really have to learn.
