I didn't want to be a loser, but I didn't want to fit in at the same time because I don't like just being ordinary. So it's one of those situations where I always kept my head up.

All of the young people - the artsy people, people who get overlooked because they're weird or they don't have hype around them - need to get some shine.

I know that women are smarter than men. I don't wanna sound like I'm on a bandwagon for chicks but I do love 'em, can't front. Women are smarter than men. I know I gotta lot of chicks up my sleeve but you guys are twice as good.

With clothes, I like mixing what different designers do until it becomes a personal expression of how I'm feeling that day.

Rihanna is a pothead and so am I, so we're real cool. Weed is going to bring us together as a generation. Drugs is what created Woodstock. Let's be clear about that.

I wanna make music that I feel proud of when I'm onstage, that I feel like I put my all into.

People don't make albums any more. It's always about singles. I wanted to take that old-school approach.
