I think I'm a maker of songs, and songs are like films or a picture: You put them over there, and they have nothing to do with you.

If anything, I hope being an artist opens up more opportunities 'cause I feel there's a lot of things I could do, like musically and stylistic-wise that I can write, but I don't really have an avenue to show it 'cause most of the things I'm writing are in Hip Hop.

You know, two people can say exactly the same words, saying the same story, and it would mean something entirely different.

I'm not a writer where I feel particularly blessed by great inspiration every day. I don't. I have to work really hard at it to try and say the things I'm concerned with.

I am someone that follows the news and reads newspapers yet what do you believe and what don't you.

I was working with D'Mile - he's amazing! And I don't know, it was like that guitar riff was so crazy to me, and so I think I was frustrated about something that happened earlier and I feel like I'm just a good guy, I don't cut people off, I don't really call people out when they do stuff that they should be called out on, and I'm just always the one being the bigger person. So, that day "Gangster" just came out. That's just how I feel in that day to day life.

First off, I think nudity is taken differently in America, though they did make a fuss in England, too.
