I see what happens when one gets very attached to material things. That's just not what my life is.

I was tired and I had overworked myself and burnt myself out. So I went to Egypt by myself. When I saw what was built there, it made me understand how powerful we are, that we can create anything. And I felt like I needed to create things that were timeless too.

I was so deeply involved in music, I had already outgrown all the pressure of high school cliques and gossip.

A lot of people, they've been saying to me, oh don't get married. It ruins everything. And I'm like, damn.

Some of the greatest artists did their best work when they got political.

My life is rich because I have those kinds of people in my life.

I think there's an energy about just remaining excited. Like, you can't be excited when you're not doing something new.
