credit enough surreal
Musicals don't get enough credit for being so surreal. It's like an alternate universe...
lying ideas giving
It's cool to have instruments lying around because they give you different ideas.
growing-up rap successful
Growing up listening to rap music, you almost feel like you should have haters. That's an important part of being a successful musician. It's a good thing, I guess.
rap thinking opposites
Rapping and singing are not two polar opposites. There's so much middle ground. And I think there's a lot of people who find that middle ground.

As an artist you have the luxury of maybe presenting an issue in a certain way, as opposed to actually solving it.
believe people different
It's pretty cool that people will pay for something even though they don't have to. It's totally different now to back in the day. Now you're paying for a record because you believe in the band. In the future that will be the only time people will pay for albums, because there's some kind of connection.

thinking excited stills
I still think that if you're excited about something, you have to work at it.
thinking feel-good pictures-of-yourself
For you to be able to take a picture of yourself that you feel good enough about to share with the world - I think that's a great thing.

Playing Tetris for 15 minutes is like meditation.

Tom Cruise is one of the most successful actors of all time.
beautiful thinking sky
I could Google image search 'the sky' and I would probably see beautiful images to knock my socks off. But I can't Google, you know, 'What does my friend look like today?' For you to be able to take a picture of yourself that you feel good enough about to share with the world - I think that's a great thing.
