Making me into a role model is placing too much importance on what I see as a work in progress.

In college, I thought I wanted to be solely an artist, and then when I got here, to college, I was like, "Okay, well I want to be a songwriter," 'cause it was like close to Nashville.

In the same way, I write some of my more difficult pieces when I'm at very happy stages in my life.

What Rare [albom] allows me to do is gonna show people other things that I'm capable of 'cause they really haven't heard a lot of things outside of the rap stuff that I do.

I'm doing quite a lot of painting on stones - little funny fish and animals.

But even when I do give interviews, I always come across as such a completely different person. It seems like there's no controlling it anyway.

I have learnt through doing interviews throughout my life that the way that somebody can write about something can change entirely how it was meant, or what actually happened.
