If I buy a new car, I rip the rearview mirror off because I don't like to look back.

I'm from the future, I'm from the past, but I'm also from the present, because I'm a gift.

I'm the most underrated, most hated, greatest of all time.

Tattoos aren't fun unless you're an idiot. It's not fun to get tattoos.

My mom was a pilot, and my dad wrestled polar bears.

I quit school. I don't do good in following police guidelines or restrictions. For someone to put rules on a genre of music or put me in a category of rap, I can't even see how you can do that.

It's like this: I've had the same mentality since I was five years old.

I'm 20 years ahead of social times. What does that tell you? That tells you that when I was four that I was thinking the same as the average human on 24.

I mean, I'm about having fun. I'm not about what other people say.

I don't got nobody writing my lyrics and that's why I freestyle.

I'm the Most Lyrically Flamboyant Artist of All Time.

Whenever Jamie Foxx was on 'In Living Color' and then you saw him sing, it didn't take away from either of those things.

My dad was like a street basketball player. He had a real mysterious life.

People always think I just focus on rap, but I listen to every type of music. If I like a song it don't matter what genre of music it is. I might listen to Duran Duran, I might listen to Sublime, maybe Red Hot Chili Peppers.

There's no right or wrong answer in an interpretation. It's all in the person who's interpreting, and how you feel about something.

I don't care about perception I care about cars, girls & money.

Icons speak icon language.

At one point in time I was eating sushi like five days a week.

I need everything first-class. If it's not a private plane, I need everything first-class. Flights, I need hotel suites, I need the best hotel in town, the top of the line best hotel suite.

Growing up I loved this brand, and if someone would have told seven year old me that I would be selecting color combos with the originator of Gecko I would have cried.

Somebody's trying to sell you a Mercedes and he pulls up in a Civic with mustard stains on his shirt, dipping a pretzel in some cheese? Nobody wants to hear what you say unless you look like somebody.

I have country songs, I have rock songs, I have songs that don't even sound like songs.

I can't skateboard. I don't know how to do that!

I care about the here and now. I care about what's in front of me. Am I having fun or not? That's all I care about. I just do what I want.

I make a lot of money. I wear a lot of jewelry. And the reason I buy so much jewelry is to show you that it's not a joke. You walk around with $20,000 on, you not to be played with.

I've had no money, I've had a lot of money, I've lost a lot of money. I've been back and forth with everything. That's why other people's input doesn't really matter to me, because nobody's put me where I'm at.

I do whatever I feel like doing cause it's in my brain.

I can't change me and I can't change other people's thinking. All I can do is continuously get better. So if I'm doing that, even if somebody doesn't like me or respect me, I don't care.

I just know what an icon does, and that's whatever you want to do and it's trendsetting. You know? It's real cutting-edge.

I've been super-fresh since elementary school. I'd lay out all my clothes, my Jordans right there, I know what cologne I'm gonna wear, my boxers match my socks.

I've always freestyle-d and did random songs.

I never wanted to be a rapper. I want to be in the movies. I want to own buildings.

Harmony Korine is a Rocket Scientist who purposely went on a 8-year vacation to let everyone catch up.

I can remember being a kid and watching Vanilla Ice and it made me smile... I love it. I love that. I can remember seeing Vanilla Ice and then through time he stopped being Vanilla Ice.

Whoever's on TV, that's who's famous back in the day.

I love Tom Ford. I love Harrison Ford, too.

Regardless of anything I say, some people try to take the fact that I'm an artist away from me.

As a kid, my favorite adventures were to skip school and go into the sewage drains and talk to the turtles and open up packs of Topps Stadium Club baseball cards.

You can't make somebody buy an album. I buy people's albums though.

I love MTV. I watched 'Beavis and Butthead,' 'Wayne's World,' 'Yo! MTV Raps.' And they used to have music videos on there. When I got the chance to be on MTV, I took the first opportunity.

I want to stay consistent and drop an album every year, so in the long run, you can see that I'm an actual artist.

I don't represent anybody and I don't hold anything at such a high arc that I gotta manage by somebody's rule. I don't ever do good with rules.

Now am I flamboyant? Am I over the top? Maybe.

Vanilla Ice sold ten million records. For him to be on MTV, it made me feel like it could be done.

I hate Los Angeles. I hate traffic. I hate people.

To be truthful, when I'd be on the bus when I was a little kid, like fourth, fifth grade, we'd always be free-styling and playing around.

I'm not the average person so when somebody sees me it's going to be bipolar: it's one or the other, you're going to love me or hate me.

I didn't finish high school but I feel like if I was in college I could debate with anybody.

Everyone wants to label me, but I don't want to be labeled as a rapper or a movie actor.

You ain't gonna know about me by talking about the past. Haters care about that. My fans, they care about where I'm going.
