“I don't think it's good to say that you won't do certain things, but I don't necessarily have the natural urge to write.”

“When I'm working, I'm pretty busy with that, but when I'm not, yeah, I like to make music. I sing in jazz bars and stuff, and then I mainly paint every day. It's kind of like a different side of my mind I like to use, and it keeps the other one fresh, and yeah, writing, I've been writing with some friends.”

“Empathy is why entertainment is always growing, and for millennials, everyone is judging them and trying to grab their attention by insulting them. We're living in a time where everyone has 25 profiles, and they're having 25 conversations.”

“Politics changes music most of the time. Ronald Reagan - you can kind of say that he made hip-hop what it was by the embargoes that he set. Certain things that he did created N.W.A in a way. Politics has always done that.”

“I don't feel comfortable without certain things. I always want some money in my pocket to do whatever I want. Even if it's something like I want to eat food that costs more than what I got.”

“Spin moves, swipes, certain power variations I use are better on each side. It's weird because it's just a coordination thing. I'm ambidextrous but I do feel a little more comfortable with certain things on each side, from years and years of playing on each side and getting comfortable.”
