For 'Black Beatles' to be so true to us and our sound - we weren't chasing a sound - it solidifies that the world is ready for us and what we have to come.

I'm always that dude that's looking for the next thing.

We Can't Stop' - everyone said that it wasn't going to work on pop radio, because it didn't have an EDM-type beat. But it went to No. 2 on Billboard and No. 1 on iTunes.

I don't spend a bunch of money on jewelry or sunglasses, because I lose them a lot.

A Red camera is the best. When I started shooting videos, I had to pay ten thousand dollars just to rent one. I was like, 'I do all these music videos, and I still don't own a Red camera?' So I spent about a hundred thousand dollars to buy one. My own bread. Boom!

I'm a producer, not just a beatmaker but a producer.

When I do music I don't think about urban music, pop or country, I just think about a good song.

I do it all, man. I produce, I do my own wardrobe and my own ironing, too!

That's what music is all about, vibes. That's what makes people react and relate to a song, what makes it soulful.

I'm just trying to follow the footsteps of God. I don't question him. Just keep moving. He never fails. He always amazes me. It's like, damn, the sky isn't the limit.

You wanna champion someone from your city and it blows it up.

I wouldn't say money can buy happiness. Happiness starts with yourself. Money can buy a smile, though.

I like everything rare - cars, shoes, clothes.

I just want to change the game.

2 Chainz and I have a history. It's always an honor and pleasure working with him, because it seems like everything we do is dope. We just have that organic chemistry.

Me and Future, we did 'Dirty Sprite,' 'Ain't No Way Around It,' 'Turn on the Lights.' Every time we record, we're setting bars.

I want to work with anybody original.

I don't put myself in any box or say that I can't work on any kind of music. I'm not just a producer that only makes urban music.

Jimmy Iovine has been telling me since 2012 that I needed to start my own label with my own artists. This was when he first met me and 'Bandz a Make Her Dance' was first taking off.

When people question me about whether something is hip-hop, I ask them, 'Does it sound hard? Does it hit home? Is it raw and real?' If it is, I did my job. And you can call it whatever you want.

I have a 200-song catalogue in the streets and I never got any money off that.

I'm looking at EarDrummers like a boutique label, like an Interscope or a Def Jam.

Jimmy Iovine, he pretty much started off as an engineer and a producer, and then he started up a label. Then he built his label to have big artists like Dr. Dre and 50 Cent. Then he started up a headphone company and made it a billion dollar business. He's a genius to me.

It's like I have three different brains.
