Kid Cudi has saved lives. He saved my life.

Growing up a good person, it's a lot harder than you'd think.

People should listen to my music if they are into a lot of different genres and kind of want to get it all at once, if they want to listen to a story, an interesting story about somebody else.

Shooting a music video sometimes can be a job.

What is a hit? Who can tell? Who decides what a hit sounds like? I needed to remind myself that a hit is whatever people decide is a hit. I don't make hits; I make music. People make hits.

It's important to reassure people that everything is going to be all right.

I want to make a lot of people smile.

I've always been such an album-driven artist that I never really stopped to think about how cool it would be to just have one really big song.

Kodak is hard. 'No Flockin' is an amazing song.

I knew that 'Nothing to Lose' wasn't gonna probably go off the same way numbers-wise like 'iSpy,' but 'Nothing to Lose' was more like a statement record for me.

I felt like I related to East Coast lyricism a little more. Because I couldn't be super gangsta.

I played football. I was pretty bad at that.

Even if I told my mom I wanted to be a clown or live in the forest, she would be down.

I always tried to pride myself on my versatility - I can't just be the 'iSpy' guy.

I just want to reach a point where I have an opportunity to impact the entire world with one song.

Big Sean is one of the dopest rappers, of my lifetime for sure. Like, Big Sean is one of the best rappers. Period.

Yachty is a genius.

I have a really diverse family and have a diverse background in music.

As I grew up and really - 22, 23, 24 - I was faced with new problems that were bigger. A lot of them were issues that pertained to people that were super close to me.

I did have a speech impediment.

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

I ran track, and I was really good at it. I was really fast.

I'm not ever going to - ever going to be able to put on chains and become the Migos.

I try to make things as versatile as possible. Usually, you have to listen to one artist for a certain vibe and another artist to catch the next vibe. I want to make an album that has all of that in there.
