“In the U.S., everything is big - it's like looking through a magnifyin...” — Yung Lean Quote

In the U.S., everything is big - it's like looking through a magnifying glass.

I don't like political rappers.

I think a lot of American fans or people that read about us - they think that we're trying to be a part of the American culture, like all these Swedish kids that love America. We rap in English, so I guess there's something, but we're very Swedish, actually.

I have to pay a huge price to express myself. You get people asking to take photos all the time; you can't ride the subway... I still ride the subway, but there's always people sneaking photos or coming up to you.

The first idea is always the best.

I get naturally uncomfortable when I'm put under a magnifying glass.

Take everything that's bad in your life and look at the positive within it. Don't ever see your glass as half-empty.

A good glass of red wine or maybe a little bit too much every now and then is just fine. Heavy boozing, not so much, because you don't recover enough from it.

When I speak to people I worked with when I was young, they constantly tell me they wish their students would work half as hard as I did. I was always one to get a lot more out of myself, seeing the glass as half-empty rather than half-full.

Visual presentation of our heritage in glass is needed.
