It's cool to have a personal relationship with someone who's your idol. Someone whose music you used to constantly listen to, when you were hoping you could make it one day.

Japanese music was so crazy! The J-pop and everything. I never scooped up an album or anything.

If I'm going to lose, I'd rather lose on my own accord.

I love pop music just as much as I like rap music, or ill-ass hip-hop music, or rock music.

I'm going to keep proving people wrong, whether it's my record label, other artists.

I'm trying to live with no fears and not care what anyone has to say.

When you do you, you can't lose.
