I don't rap like nobody, I don't try to sound like nobody.

I learned [playing Chuck Berry] that there's something to be said for the courage of conviction, that sense of belief, being bold enough to believe in your vision. And there's a quote that really fits his particular energy. It says - they say don't go where the path may lead, but go where there's no path and leave a trail. I think that's exactly what Chuck did, you know. It's an inspiration to a lot of folks, not just musicians, but people everywhere.

Good art provides people with a vocabulary about things they can't articulate.

I'm not shy about heated debate or passionate discourse, but when people get crazy or rude, that's a buzz kill. There's got to be a better code of conduct, some basic etiquette.

All the things that are worth doing, take time.

I'm trying to get low. People's personalities can get in the way of their own work.

I ain't no perfect man I'm tryna do the best that I can with what it is I have.
