Nobody believes it, but I slept on a futon till I was 13.

Life started getting good when I started making money.

My mom just understands about stuff. We have a really good trust, and she knows I can take care of myself.

Because I'm such a studio guy, I really trust my process. I really believe in myself in the studio.

My tendency is to be the guy in the back, even though I often end up being the guy in the front.

I had a very modest upbringing.

Even in my darkest times I knew I had a good future ahead of me.
