Initially, I wanted to be a writer for other people. 'Hereditary,' I was writing it from a woman's perspective.

Nobody on Earth does a project by himself. So you have to make sure your team is intact.

As' by Stevie Wonder - it's the greatest song ever written, bro.

I always try to get to the point where I can do different things with my voice.

I don't care about being famous.

I'm tryna be the biggest artist I could be.

I've always been able to write. I've always been able to put a good essay in or say whatever I wanted to say through the pen. That was a gift of mine. I feel like it was what I was meant to do.

I try to be, like, hella sensitive to my surroundings.

I'm never comfortable.

I feel like the world is getting dumber. I don't necessarily think people are stupid, but I think we're getting dumber.
