Living in New York, you get a lot of confidence; when I go back to Michigan, I realise how obnoxious and demanding and straightforward I am.

I want to be an artist you cannot categorize at all. You can't put a box around me. You can't put anything around me.

True artistic expression lies in conveying emotion.

You are so much more than you are in this moment; you never know how great you can be. Don't give up on you, I didn't give up on me.

I can't really even name a person I like in hip-hop music.

I put everyone in my school on to Nicki Minaj before she blew up. I was obsessed with her and I was like, 'If she's the best female rapper then I've got to be better than her.

I don't know, I feel like as time has gone on, hip-hop has become really redundant and repetitive.
