It may look like things have gotten better, because everyone is semi-being appreciative. Not appreciative, but conscious of people being gender fluid and all those things.

I am a rapper. The reason why I was against the whole rapper title is because I know so many people who want to be rappers and they're not.

With a lot of people you think you want to work with, you reach out to them about working and then realize you don't want to anymore because they're a complete dickhead.

Now I'm in the business and I do have to have these awkward conversations about how I look, how I talk. But I'm still here.

I don't think it's completely better. I still have to do annoying things sometimes and explain things that I don't feel I have to [about LGBT].

I want to be respected as a writer and, like I said, I was really sick of people saying I was a two dimensional character. I want more to my legacy, I guess.

I don't know [whether] if I didn't get paid, or my career didn't keep going where it goes, if I would keep doing music.
