A lot of artists make art for five years, some artists make art for ten years, a few make art for fifteen: very few do it until they die.

Recording is a lengthy process, but onstage it's completely different; tape is not running - life is running, and cannot be rewound.

I've always been aggressive and an underdog, and my dad was worried that I would always be that: constantly seeking inspiration from negativity.

I change my direction, I can't even help it. It's sort of like the fortune and misfortune of being a rapper.

You can always find the sample that covers what you're hearing, but barely...it allows me to really concentrate on words.

I wonder a lot about making things meaningful. You want to do meaningful work and make art, but you're making records, which is good, but you don't want to weight them - it's a very curious thing.

I'd love to sign a contract for the soundtracks to every Wes Anderson movie, you know what I'm saying? Things like that, I have no spots on my conscience about.
