Every artist is supposed to get emotional. You're painting pictures of emotions.

Ambition is priceless, its something that's in your veins.

I just wanna affect the culture and wanna be able to support young people with goals that aren't just limited to rapping and producing.

I'm not really caught up with celebrity women. I think a regular girl that goes to school or works at a Complex or Spin or Blender or whatever, one of those magazines. She'd probably be flyer to me than the person she's writing about.

I'm a black man in the United States of America, so I always feel like there's a target on me.

I dated a lot, but I never really had anyone who was worthy of an anniversary. And most girlfriends never made it to a year, anyway.

I want people to be like, 'Your album's just as good as Kendrick [Lamar]'s or Esperanza Spalding or Beck. I work just as hard as them.
