I never feel that I have to adopt a character. It's more the way I choose to present the music and that's always based on what is right for the song.

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.

You go back and look at some of the ancient writings that exist throughout the world about wars and it's the same; the human beings' articulation of events is the same. That really fascinated me.

I really don't pay too much attention; I don't go out of my way to read any interviews.

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

Shame is the shadow of love.

In the past members of my family on both my mother's and father's side have fought in the war, in the first and second World Wars. Unfortunately, they're dead and I wasn't able to speak to them, but that was in our family history too.
