If I'm gonna tell a real story, I'm gonna start with my name.

I learned, when I look in the mirror and tell my story, that I should be myself and not peep whatever everybody is doing.

My moms always told me, 'How long you gonna play the victim?' I can say I'm mad and I hate everything, but nothing really changes until I change myself.

People have to go through trials and tribulations to get where they at. Do your thing - continue to rock it - because obviously, God wants you here.

I don't want to be something that just comes and goes.

I look at where I'm at today and realize that most of my success is owed to the mentors that was in my life.

My word will never be as strong as God's word. All I am is just a vessel, doing His work.

When everybody looks at our generation of kids, they always call us the misfits - you know, like we just don't give a damn.

My whole thing is to inspire, to better people, to better myself forever in this thing that we call rap, this thing that we call hip hop.

It's easy to forget who you are.

I think my vice would be outdoing myself.

I'm only as good as my last word, my last hook, my last bridge.

I think my worst problem is actually living in the moment and understanding everything that's going on. I feel like I'm in my own bubble.

It's a great, great experience to finally get the reception that you know you rightfully deserve.

I've been called a recluse. There's definitely truth in that. I like to spend time alone.

I like to let things breathe.

I'm constantly thinking.

I always tell people that if I move anywhere it would be Toronto.

When I'm in the studio, I'm looking for creativity I haven't matched yet, a feeling I haven't felt. It's a high.

I'm sticking to the script, I'm putting that organic feeling back in the game.

Me, as a person, I grow. I'm like a chameleon. You know? That is a gift and a curse for me. But more so a gift, because it never puts me in a box.

Since day one, since the first time I touched the pen, I wanted to be the best at what I do.

I can't help the way you was born if you was gay.

I don't vote. I don't do no voting.
