Most people have perceived my brand and my personality as this guy that just is so happy, he has no cares in the world.

When I heard my first rap song and figured out what that was, I kind've stuck to it. I always wanted to be a musician in general, an entertainer. I just started rapping. I never decided, 'Oh, I want to be a rapper.'

Pete Rock, CL Smooth, all this East Coast stuff - that's kind of, like, the rappers I first admired. I wanna rap just like them because I just thought they were so hard. I thought their delivery was so crazy.

I know everywhere is cool and all, but, at least for me, I was lucky enough to be in southern California. I feel lucky to be from there... I feel like it taught me how to be polite.

I think about love being so important because, to me, that's the reason we were put on Earth. Love, in a sense, is God to me.

My relationship with my father is fine. Every relationship has its ups and downs because bad things happen in all relationships. But for me, I can only write about what I'm feeling in the moment and something that actually happened to me.

I think love is, by far, the strongest force in the entire universe. Love is so strong, it'll make you do something that, in any other circumstance, you would never do.

I'm a drama kid at heart. That is definitely where my heart and soul is. I did 'Hairspray' in high school - I was Seaweed.

I really love 'Mr. Rager.' I know the first album is incredible, but my favorite Kid Cudi album is the second one.

If you can't love yourself, you can't love other people.

I feel like the biggest key to longevity is maintaining what's special about yourself but always presenting it in a new way. That way, people can never get tired of you.

I've been a nerd my whole life.
