I'd rather be working for a paycheck, than waiting to win the lottery. Besides, maybe this time it's different, I mean, I really think you like me.

We must memorize nine numbers and deny we have a soul.

There's a major underlying idea as you grow up that you need to just save your money and get that affordable housing at the edge of town where you're away from the city where all the crime happens or whatever.

I think there's a weird self-affirmation thing that happens in popular music in general. It seems like every song I hear on the radio is like, "Listen to me roar!" or "This is my fight song!"

Hip-hop music has done a very good job of maintaining the political context, where they stand and not giving a sh-t what people think.

It seems like everything I do musically I tend to lose a few fans and gain a few fans, and it all kind of evens out.

I think there's a danger, for me at least, in retreating and going inward and depression. I have to stay diligent against that tendency.
