I have this desire to have this immaculate form of love that really doesn't exist, so my obsession goes on through life and I never find it and I end up miserable. But it makes me a better writer.

I don't even really like rap music.

Guys pit female rappers against each other because female rappers - if you haven't noticed of late - are a lot more interesting than guys.

True artistic expression lies in conveying emotion.

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.

Being honest with the public is how they respect you.

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