Clearly, everybody knows I can rap; I can freestyle all day.

You can't love music without loving the Beatles.

When you don't have those types of things, fashion and all that stuff, it helps you find yourself because you don't have those things to rely on.

I'm definitely light-spirited, but I just felt like my music had to have a little more depth.

One thing about being a stand-up is it's a one-man show. You gotta do everything. You're the producer, writer, director, and the actor. You just gotta be out there and perform and give your all. It's such an honest form of art that it just taught me so much, and it kind of prepared me for manhood at an early age.

I always try to be optimistic, but not to the point where I'm getting on people's nerves.

Art is supposed to spark conversation and make people think.
