I just want to make a classic. Classic is the standard. I'm just trying to make music that will last a lifetime.

I do so much music that it's like a fog, and I can't even remember all of it.

Hip-hop is the only music in the world where you can take any instrument and make it hip hop. It's anybody's music. It's what you make of it. That's for anything you do in life.

I'm not ashamed of anything that I've done because when I did it, I was passionate about it and I was doing it for a reason.

I equally love both, classic rock and hip-hop. I love all music, really, and I really use classic rock a lot. I'm heavily influenced by that melodically in my music. I can't really separate the two.

I definitely prefer intimate crowds. I mean, those are always the best shows, like, a small venue. Packed to the gills. Hot, sweaty. Those are always the fun shows.

People are not really that forgiving when they pay for tickets to come see you and you don't show up.
