I never stopped grinding. I never stopped hustling. I never stopped working. I just kept moving. It has nothing to do with the money or anything like that. It's just that I love music.

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.

You gotta live life. You gotta enjoy life. I mean, I don't live on the edge.

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.

I'm a producer first, and I know music, so I can jump on any song, whether it's pop or urban, without changing me. Whatever I do, I'm gonna make it classic.

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."

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