I relate to hustlers who want to get out of where they are and create something different for themselves.

It's not a very sane thing to try to be great all the time.

Sometimes women are so great and powerful, but then they surrender to these vain things. They kind of fall for it.

I'm not so interested in being indie just for the sake of being indie.

I don't love all hip-hop, but I do relate to stuff like early Nas, 2Pac, Biggie, and MF Doom because they're also trying to escape a scenario.

I do it live on tape with a band. It's not like I'm doing electronic music with a laptop.

Of course, there are a lot of things I'm angry about in the world.
