Rage and grief are savage companions, but despair is the final undoing.

That's what's inspiring to me - finding someplace where people haven't already seen themselves in a certain light.

I find the new Justin Bieber video more violent and more of an assault to my eyes and senses than what I've made.

There has been an effect of business rap on the output of today's rap music. But I don't think that's the modern day rapper's fault.

I feel like I can't really have a comment.

In my head I actually think my songs are pop songs. I think, Damn, that's a pop song! I can practice in front of the mirror with my hairbrush for as long as I want to. But when it finally comes out, it sounds avant-garde to people. Right up until then, though, I think, "Of course everybody feels this way. This song's the same as the Greek national anthem."

I wanted to represent a different decade, and I wanted someone who goes back further than me. I go back the furthest on this thing, I never really noticed that before. I'm going to have to fix that or I'm going to look really old.
