I make tiny wooden people with bits of hair. Puppets and things like that.

It [ "Not For Long"] was the biggest song that I've had, and I actually heard it on the radio multiple times.

I'd want to read the stories that I'd written, I'd want to show the drawings that I made. That was just purely natural. So I knew I wanted to go into the arts in some way and that I'd want to show that work in some way.

At this point in my life, I'm probably not gonna be able to stop writing because it's gonna help me be able to do what I need to do.

I think of myself as a songwriter, a weaver of story and imagination in a way that a novelist might write a book.

And all of these writers offer me a greater understanding of what it is to be alive, and that is such an incredible thing art can do for other people. It made me want to try and get close to this strange, mysterious thing that people can do with words.

The first song I heard from me was Meek Mill ["I Don't Know"], it was his first single before he went (to jail). I remember the first time I heard it was like eleven thirty at night, and I was like, "Yo, this is crazy!" And, I was smiling from ear to ear.
