I've never heard a man in a suit tell me what to wear; that's not their forte. You hire your stylist; whatever someone's image is as an artist is what they've chosen to portray.

A lot of people heard 'Murda Business' and thought it was about killing people, trying to be tough and hardcore. If you actually listen to the lyrics, it's kind of silly and playful.

'Iggy' was my dog - he was named after Iggy Pop - and 'Azalea' is the street where I grew up; together, they have the right amount of syllables to make the perfect name.

I'd known since about eleven that I wanted to live in America.

I think that music is still art, even if it's commercialised.

Whenever my country has something bad happening I feel guilty for not being there. It's weird.

There's an obligation to not lead people down the wrong path, but I hardly think me wearing short shorts on stage is creating monsters.
