I dunno, there were always people believing in me, but you just gotta be confident in whatever you wanna do.

I think the special stuff [music] still finds a way to be heard, as long as you pair it with a good release strategy.

Thing is, I wasn't in the library, didn't study too much, didn't get the best grades, but honestly, I didn't party a lot either. I stayed in a lot.

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

I just want to make music that matters, that people will remember for a long time.

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

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.
