We lock ourselves into our own philosophies, our own religions, our own walks of life, and if we fail, we condemn ourselves and then we get sick.

I don't read music or anything, so when I produce, I go basically by ear.

I view my hair and clothes as functional art.

I'd rather see a person with a natural mind and processed mind than a processed mind and a natural head.

Being honest is my job. That's what music is for me.

I'm free. I just do what I want, say what I want, say how I feel, and I don't try to hurt nobody. I just try to make sure that I don't compromise my art in any kind of way, and I think people respect that.
