I never pay attention, to no numbers, no views, comments ... I just try to keep on going, keep on living my life so I can continue to put out music that's real.

Of course, growing up, I was a big fan of rap so that was something that I got into. I was a fan of a lot of artists. You can be a fan, but at the same time, you gotta carve your own swagger and carve out your own style.

What I do brings me a lot of money and it puts me on TV so people may look at me like a star but to me, if you're good (at what you do) and keep on improving, then that's what makes you a star in your own way.

I'm putting my emotion out on stage so people can actually feel me. If you feel somebody's art and you see them perform it and they aren't feeling it, that's one of the first things in the game.

I listen to other artists, cuz its like every artist wanna hear something that they never heard before.

You get comparisons with anything in life. I think that if you [are] taking the time out to compare me to somebody, then I must be doing something right.

A fan can only go as far as you let them. I've seen crazy things like girls having me autograph their body and then they go get it tattooed. I guess that's too far, but it's cool with me.
