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.

I can't force the direction that it's going to go without actually taking the time to make sure it's a great, great quality product. Whether that's for apparel, or whatever the case may be.

I try to mix the fashion with the music and what's going on at the time...at the time [when my uniform was black on black] I was putting together an album, my album was my name at the time; very minimal, very stripped down, very everything but it still had and have to have some level of pop.

As a writer, you have a huge ego. You think that every line means something to everybody the same way it means to you. And that's not true.

Doing something else and just adding whatever Pusha T nuances on it, now you're doing something cheaper. You started one place and took it to its heights, and now you're regressing. I don't think I should be exploring that right now.

The thing that I realize about fashion now, fashion and music, now versus back then is that you had to have fresh records and be fresh.

When I say right, it just has to be well thought out. I feel like I'm on a pretty good roll, and it can't be me trying to force what might be perceived to be next.
