If I was more complacent and I let things slide, my life would be easier, but you all wouldn't be as entertained. My misery is your pleasure.

Sometimes when I see a bad performance and people still clap... I wonder if they're clapping because they liked what they saw or because they're happy it's over?

Take your diamonds and throw em up like you're bulimic. Yeah, the beat cold, but the flow is anemic.

To be a visionary, all you have to do is make decisions based off of your eyes instead of your ears and your memory.

Thank God I'm not too cool for a seatbelt.

My goal, if I was going to do art, fine art, would have been to become Picasso or greater. That always sounds so funny to people, comparing yourself to someone in the past that has done so much, and in your life you’re not even allowed to think that you can do as much. That’s a mentality that suppresses humanity.

People asked me to change my name for [808s]...I think the fact that I can't sing that well is what makes "808s" so special.
