I know I am judged unfairly by my physical characteristics and ostracized because of that so I say, "Yes, I'm a black man."

The Internet was a saving grace for promoting and exposing, and even creating. It's a parallel world to the music industry that already exists, and I'm glad to be a part of it.

Find like-minded people and try not to be individualized to the point where you try to fight it all and think about it all on your own.

You're always looking for somebody to love you, be accepted, and there's the insecurities that are even transmitted through rap. Everyone is trying to aim to please too much. Number one: They're trying to please whoever signed them to a contract. Number two: They're trying to appease a gigantic audience and they get this false magnification of love. I came from a thing which nowadays would be the exception to the rule. I came from a mother and father who always made me secure in my beliefs, and that's where the love came from. Which made me look at everything else as procedure.

Try to master technology instead of it mastering you.

I'm not a U.S. citizen. I mean, I'm an earth-izen. Borderline policies are crap to me.

I don't have any exteriors that would actually put me into some kind of different air that would actually intimidate somebody to stay away from me.
