I didn't ever want to make a rap album. I considered it too limiting. Now that's exactly what I've gone and done

When I wake up in the morning, the first things that I see are the clouds. They're right there. I look out my window now and there's always, always a black bird of some sort on the ledge there. Usually I wake up and look at the birds.

I think it's misleading to think that art is only there for escapism, only there for our dreams of being rich and f - king whoever we wanna f - k.

I'm usually trying to get back into the dream or analyzing the dream. And yeah, the days, most days begin like that.

When I finally decide that I'm ready to get out of bed, it could be the sunlight, it could be the fact that I'm awake, and, OK, first of all, I wake up in the morning because I have to go to the bathroom.

Legislation won't necessarily start a riot. But the right song can make someone pick up a chair.

I think everybody on this planet does that - trying to capture your dream after you wake up.
