I want to make music that I like; not something that I have to make because I think it's going to sell.

I definitely use 'smiling while rapping' as a tool in the booth. I want to have fun while recording.

I find that when I put my spiritual life first, the rest of my life is easy. When I put my career first, that's when I have problems.

I want to be someone who is respected and not just in terms of my music. I want to be respected in terms of the way that I treat people... Music is my creative outlet in terms of expressing what is important to me; what has importance, what has a value. And I wanna be respected for that.

I think that there will always be artists out there who think they need to sign a major label deal in order to be successful. And that machine is what is going to work for them - there's tons of examples of pop stars who need that machine.

I like to be as diverse as possible. I think the humorous side and the serious side are both elements of my personality. It's what makes me who I am and if I was to neglect either one of those sides and just focus on one of them, it wouldn't be the full spectrum of my personality.

We are what we wear, we wear what we are
