Since I was a kid, I'd wake up every morning hearing a voice say, 'You're the greatest rapper ever.' I'm trying to prove that voice right.

I never was a crazy liquor drinker, and I don't like beer that much - though I keep the brews at home because my homies love beer.

Certain people in life are just going to take what's given to them, and certain people in life know they want better and they're going to go find better. I've always been that type of person.

If you like soggy cereal, then we not friends.

I used to rap as a kid and people were impressed by it, so it gave me the drive to keep going. Everybody has at least one talent. I guess this is my talent.

The most popular rap artists aren't supposed to be rapping about being broke.

I don't really feel famous. I'm just an internet guy. I walk down the street and people don't really mess with me too much. I still have my life.

I want to be able to do what I want to do. A lot of times, the major labels, they can't see the vision, they can only see the dollar signs. So, it doesn't really work out like that.

I use the Internet for what it's for: to learn.

I'll be getting all types of crazy fans, from the hoodest dude to the straight-up dude in a business suit. It's dope. I have a crazy wide-range fan base.

The reason I never wanted to sign with a big label was because I didn't want no one telling me how to make my music.

Your life is fragile. Your body, mind, and soul need to be protected, loved, and cared for. Make sure your actions provide love and health to yourself.

I think one of the coolest things you can do is disappear for a while, because it gives you the chance to re-emerge. To sort of pounce out of the jungle.

In the past, some of the songs that were the most fun, and the most entertaining and rocking, fell by the wayside because I was concerned with what I was going to say and how I was going to say it.

You serve a greater cause. Your life is not yours to throw away (Magnus Bane)

Be yourself is all that you can do.

I've been called to the slums of the streets and the ditches of the world.

Profit and morality are a hard combination to beat.

When I used to read fairy-tales, I fancied that kind of thing never happened, and now here I am in the middle of one!

I have learned to be steady in my course of love, or fear, or loneliness, rather than impulsive in its wasting, either lyrically or emotionally.

I have to understand what my strengths and limitations are, and work from a true place. I try to do this as best I can while still protecting my writer self, which more than ever needs privacy.
