I always felt that rap didn't cause crime; it just reflected it.

We're just ordinary people. We don't know which way to go.

I like songs that have like a little bit of quirkiness to them. What I like to do with songs, is kind of throw a little curveball in the lyrics or in the arrangement, to kind of give it a little twist to it.

Kind of the critical acclaim of this movie [La La Land] is that it's striking a chord with the public in a way that has been really beautiful and powerful.

I just want it to be timeless and timely at the same time.

I feel like my job is to make impact, spread love, tell great stories, inspire people, that's what I am going to do.

I don't love the idea of three superstars coming together to form a dream team, I'd rather teams are built more organically, just as a fan it's more interesting to see.
