I really want to do the unexpected, and I think that's what I did when I executed 'Long.Live.A$AP.' I wanted people to really see the message and that I'm an artist who not only has the capability of rapping, but of composing great music both for people of my generation and for people with different backgrounds.

I don't like new cars; I'm into vintage cars - there's a Jaguar E-Type in the 'Goldie' video.

I strive for perfection, but Im not perfect. But what I can say is my morals are totally different than any other 24-year-old rapper my age now. I look at life totally different. A whole other aspect. I have different views and morals on life in general. And opinions.

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

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

I treat everybody equal, and so I want to be sure that my listeners and my followers do the same if they're gonna represent me. And if I'm gonna represent them, then I also want to do it in a good way.

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