I'm starting to find out that a lot of people that you wouldn't think listen to me really do.

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.

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 wouldn't mind collaborating with anybody, but I don't want to design anything, I'm not a fashion designer.

A lot of energy and excitement - that's what a lot of my shows are, energy and excitement.

I just want my fans to grow up and enjoy the music first, I don't want to change the world that's not what my music is about.

I've got so much in my brain and I want to change the way we think sometimes.
