I don't think I'm a collector. I think every kid from where I'm from had a terrible passion for having to have fresh kicks.

I talk specifically to the lifestyle and those who can relate to it. And I feel like, where the creativity comes in, is where you draw the parallels that everybody can relate to. That's where it's creative for me. I feel like it works best that way.

I feel like people can feel when something is natural. I think they can tell.

I didn't come in as a writer that found producers, I came in under producers. So I've always respected the actual production process and producers in general.

I've never been - I don't think I'm, like, a great A&R, by any means. I don't even know production lingo, in all honesty.

Sitting with the woman of your dreams and forgetting what her name is.
