I love 'Harry Potter' and JK Rowling - don't laugh at me!

I thought highly of myself growing up. I still do. There's not really much somebody can say to me to bring down my confidence or anything.

I want to inspire people to really open up their minds and not be one-sided or biased or hypocritical.

If a chick wants to know who makes my shoes, she's got to take them off my feet and look inside.

For me, growing up in Harlem and then migrating down to SoHo and the Lower East Side and chillin' down there and making that my stomping ground... That was a big thing, because I'm from Harlem, and downtown is more artsy and also more open-minded. So I got the best of both worlds.

Nowadays, everybody wanna be weird. We know how to manifest being weird.

[I want to be] Something that really touched you - and as far as image and change goes, I just really want a lot of people to respect my music and treat me... [as] inspiration.
