Fans don't know what they want. Fans are like, 'Oh, I want the stuff that you did in the last album because I really liked it, and if you don't do that, I'm not going to be your fan no more.' Or they'll be like, 'I didn't like that project. He doesn't sound like him on it,' or 'You're wack. You're mainstream now.'

That's what you gonna get with me: the dark aspects of life. Of course, you've got to have some type of light in there, but if it was all light, you'd be blinded. You've got to balance them out.

Life is dark.

I like being regular.

I think about death a lot.

The more I pay attention, the more I'm in tune with my fans and myself. It's how I keep raising up.

When I go on heavy rants, or I retweet too much, everybody unfollows me.

Melody wins every time. Melody is always gonna win.

I want to master every style of music. I want to master every way of performing. I want to master every artsy music video style and just be the greatest of all-time.

I'm just an artist.

I've been a fan of grime for a while - I used to watch the battles on YouTube when I was younger.

I rap about life in general, particularly my life, unless telling a story.

I think I sound like the apocalypse destroying the Earth to the sounds of trumpets skating across the heavens played by angels.

My artist name is actually my real name - Denzel Curry.

Carol City crazy, man, but it's home at the same time.

You've got to know your surroundings.

I just want to build awareness for my city. But if it wasn't for Carol City, I wouldn't be the person I am today.

I've seen a lot of people come out of Carol City, but I had this distinct vision for Carol City, just me coming out of there, because my music is so different from anybody else who came out of there.

No matter who you are, you're gonna feel alienated by somebody.

As an Aquarius, I was born an outsider. I'm awkward at social events. I can be social, but I feel like nobody truly understands who I am.

I'm very skeptical about everything. That's how I've always been.

The fact that I'm finally getting recognition for what I do is always a blessing, you know?

Everybody wants freedom. You don't want to be shackled, especially as an artist. Nobody wants to be shackled, at the end of the day.
