Success to me is self-determined, the life I live today, to come from a kid strung out on angel dust, homeless, at some points sleeping in the street. No money, not knowing where the next meal was coming from. No sex, no relationships, people that didn't love me, didn't care about me, to where I am today... that's successful. When I signed my record deal I always wanted to be respected by my peers for my ability and my skill level.

You’ll never progress if you never try

Don't ask for a cig' - I'm so self-centered, I won't even share this cancer.

When you're young and you're comin' up, and you dream of gettin' this record deal, and then you actually get it, and, you know, its apples and oranges from everything that you pictured. The line was pretty self-explanatory to me: once I got in my major label agreement, I definitely couldn't deal with it. It was drivin' me crazy, givin' me gray hairs at an early age.

Project X now, but it started as a Hunger Game.

Look, sometimes the truth could hurt you so I blow my cig smoke right at the truth commercial.

You take music out of life and love. I don't want to be on a planet without music.
