My dad is a great writer. Naturally talented, naturally charming. He embodies that back-in-the-day cool.

I'm not confrontational, but if someone challenges, I'm not going to back down.

My mother made me truly appreciate women.

I feel connected to my generation through the music, but I also fear for us. We're in a very self-destructive state where we're addicted to outside opinions and we all feel like we have fans.

The ideal girl is driven, working on something other than modeling or being a singer.

When you're on the road and moving city to city, when someone isn't there at the end of the night, you feel empty.

I'm actually a very honest person, and sometimes I end up like, 'Man, I said too much.' It's hard for me not to tell the truth when you ask me.

Sometimes it's the journey that teaches you a lot about your destination.

I try to really capitalize off of what other rappers really can't do. There are opportunities that rappers I love simply can't get, because... you know... I don't have the tattoos; I have a different image.

I have an urge to communicate. I think I'm a change from what it would be like dating a normal guy who doesn't talk too much.

A relationship can give you a gut wrenching feeling sometimes. It's a real emotional ride.

Jealousy is just love and hate at the same time.
