If I didn't make a single song in two months, I'm slippin'. You can't just party every night.

I suppose sometimes the lack of privacy can be a little hard to deal with at times.

In my dorm room, I was a hermit making music, I've always had a sense of urgency that I don't have forever to make this happen.

Sometimes when you meet stars, on one hand you're like, "You're who I'm inspired by, you're who I look up to." On the other hand you're like, "I wanna be in the same kind of shoes that you're in." That's how I've always seen myself. Some of me is star-struck, some of me feels like I'm looking at a peer. They're another person who sees the world the same way I do, who already did it. It's inspiring.

I don't come to Toronto often, so when I'm there it's always special and rare which I think makes it very exciting for my fans.

In a sense, touring is crazy. You go city to city playing the show over and over again. But there's something magic about being in front of people, so it's not like going through the motions every night. It's a different experience.

Life is good. I've got a apartment that is paid for with rap money. It's good. It's amazing. It's a blessing. I wake up every day and appreciate how much of a blessing this is getting to do this. But it is important to always stay humble, grounded, focused, and maintain that same ambition you had when you had nothing.
