I was 13 and my mom was a librarian so I told her to check out every music book she could possibly find. I wanted to know the business part of being in the music business.

There's a lot of money in doing score music. You can get a chance to get nominated for an Oscar.

I just make the music, and people have the say. When I'm making songs, I never call them hits.

As a musician, you write and make music as you go. It's definitely in a great sequence. When you release songs, you think, "Let me make sure this goes with this so it's like a story."

I don't advise kids to do what I do. I'm just doing me. I just smoke a little weed and do a little drink.

Whatever you do, stay focused. Because any stuff is not going to last forever. Once you get a show at something, you gotta roll with it. You can't sit on your ass. You better keep working. You better stay motivated.

I'm a producer/rapper so I feel like I can do anything. I can do all kinds of music. I've done all kinds of music and I'm good at it.
