I only write about stuff that’s happened to me.. stuff I can’t get past personally. Luckily, I'm quite self-destructive.

I'm lucky because I do get to fly first-class now.

I always wrote poetry and stuff like that, so putting songs together wasn't that spectacular.

All the songs I write are about human dynamics, whether it's with girlfriends, boyfriends, or family.

I saw a picture of myself when I came out of the hospital. I didn't recognize myself.

I know definitive points in my life and in relationships because of my songs. I write my music so that I'll never be bored of it.

The jazz I love is sweet and pure with raw elements, which is exactly what the good hip-hop is doing now.
