I want to win some awards, sell more records - just do whatever I want.
I get sick all the time because I get no rest and sleep, but it's definitely worth it.
Eminem was the biggest rapper in the world, but I didn't know Eminem and I didn't know anybody who knew Eminem.
The best advice I have been given is to live in the moment, as cliché as that sounds. It's crazy.
To live in the moment is truly an art and is truly a talent, because when you live in the moment then you are truly the master of your whole life and you'll have the best times.
I don't judge too much as long as it's good. As long as it's good music and good artistry, I'm with it.
Ariana is a huge supporter of mine; she's a big fan - she told me that when I met her. She's cool, her voice is crazy, she's got a great, great voice.
I just knew what I wanted to be since the third grade. And I always did well in school, I was the type to get good grades, I never really got below Cs or nothing like that. I always kept it A-B. But there's no school for rap.
It's easier to record in LA than in New York and Detroit, because the space in LA is green, and there's sunshine, and I need all those positive vibes.
I feel like you should be confident in whatever you do, and a lot of my new music [that's coming out] I want people to judge more so than the music I've put out recently, because I feel like it's really changed a lot.
I really just appreciate good jewelry, clarity, gold. I think gold is made for kings and pharaohs - that's what I am. That's why I rock gold and, you know, stuff like that.
Everything I wanted to do was big. I feel like my music is big, the mark I'ma leave in this world is big, so I feel like that's the perfect name.
I work really hard - that doesn't mean I deserve anything, but it's really cool to see the positive reaction people give to something you worked so hard on. It's one of the best feelings.
I don't call my people fans, I call them believers, because they go above and beyond.
