I don't want people to get the impression that I just got money and now I'm cocky, because I'm not. I'm just a little overly confident.

When I started, I was 23 years old directing my own music videos; I'm co-producing on my album; I'm hands-on with everything. I'm more than just a pretty boy: I'm an artist. I'm not saying I'm a hip-hop music artist, I'm an artiste.

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

I'm not a gay rights activist.

I'm a people's person, believe it or not. I just have a dark side to me, which we all do.

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.

When Big Meech and everybody got indicted, hustling died. Keep it trill.
