I just kind of kick it at my crib all day because I'm not famous at my house.

Someone told me sleep was the cousin of death and followin' the dollar finds nothin' but stress.

I can have a song with Ariana Grande that is going to be the song for all the kids and the teen girls, and then another song that could be for a different group of people who all love the song. Im with whoever. Whatever type of people want to love the music and whatever they love about the music is fine with me.

My ideology was, if I just make very happy music, very happy music, then people will forget about whatever their problems are. I will forget about my problems.

They say you waste time asleep, but I'm just trying to dream.

When you feel sad, it's okay. It's not the end of the world. Everyone has those days when you doubt yourself, and when you feel like everything you do sucks, but then there's those days when you feel like Superman. It's just the balance of the world. I just write to feel better.

If you're an artist who's built on marketing and hype then most likely I won't listen to you.
