I feel it's so important to have strong women around you.

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 was 19 when I recorded my first album, and I've been exposed to many things during these last few years; all the baby fat is gone.

I'm really depressing. Some people watch comedy to relax. I watch 21 Grams. I can recognize sadness and tragedy really easily because it's been with me forever.

I was going on this desert adventure with some friends and we were like, "How amazing would it be to just drag all these mirrors out there?" A lot of times I do things as an impulse and find out my inspirations afterward. Even with songs and lyrics, it can take me years to find out what I was actually trying to do.

I felt such a deep connection with dolphins. I felt like they were the only ones who understood me.

I dove into the craziness and did things that maybe I would think twice about when I get older.
