I'm my favorite rapper.

You may be talented but you're not Kanye West.

Recognize and embrace your flaws so you can learn from them. Sometimes it takes a little polishing to truly shine.

But for me to have the opportunity to stand in front of a bunch of executives and present myself, I had to hustle in my own way. I can't tell you how frustrating it was that they didn't get that. No joke - I'd leave meetings crying all the time.

I've had meetings where a guy actually told me, "What we're trying to figure out is how we can control you." In the meeting, to me! Why do you want to control me?

I'm the type of rock star that likes to have a girlfriend, you know?

I fervently believe that, as someone has said before, "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." I want to help change the way young people look at school, and hence, the way they look at their futures.
