mom kids home
I was ashamed to let anyone know that I was living in a shelter. I remember one time coming home and some kids saw me and were like, "What you doing here? This is a shelter!" But I was like, "My mom's working there." It was pretty embarrassing.
cool kids known love represent understand
I represent the kids who come from nothing but who understand it all and love it all. That's what I represent - those are the cool kids, you know, the kids of tomorrow, because who would've known that I'd be who I am today? We are the kids of tomorrow.
gay clothes rights
I haven't been a gay activist. I haven't protested for gay rights or none of that, but one thing I can say is that a lot of the designers I wear are gay and I like their clothes.
new-york rapper
I don't even like New York rappers.
song ems favourite
I don't have any favourite lyrics. Honestly, all of them I love 'em to death - it's the same with songs. I don't have just one favourite lyric, I love them all.
fashion looks want
I've been into fashion since birth. I grew up in the 'hood, and everybody in the 'hood wants to compensate for being in poverty, so they want to look good to keep themselves up.
boys artist hands
When I started, I was 23 years old directing my own music videos; I'm co-producing on my album; I'm hands-on with everything. I'm more than just a pretty boy: I'm an artist. I'm not saying I'm a hip-hop music artist, I'm an artiste.
vintage car jaguars
I don't like new cars; I'm into vintage cars - there's a Jaguar E-Type in the 'Goldie' video.
fashion who-i-am directors
I'm getting my respect as a video director. The fashion industry respects me and knows who I am.
soho stores used
I used to go to Saks, I would go to Bergdorf, I would go to Barneys, I would go to thrift stores in SoHo.
growing-up world want
I just want my fans to grow up and enjoy the music first, I don't want to change the world that's not what my music is about.
getting-high crowds fans
You wouldn't take me to be a Skrillex fan, but honestly, when I'm at his shows, I get high and liquored up, and I just go in the crowd and start raving.
fashion design mind
I wouldn't mind collaborating with anybody, but I don't want to design anything, I'm not a fashion designer.
gold necklaces bracelet
I don't wear diamond necklaces. I'm not against it but I never could afford it, so now I just wear gold. I wear bracelets, rings, anklets.
