I've read horoscopes before and what they say. But I would actually love to not be what somebody writes down - I don't want to be described. I don't want you to be able to read something and say, "This is how Wayne is." I'd rather you meet me and decide. I'd rather be different, basically.
If I have a rap album I'm dropping, then I want it to be the best rap album.
I don't want to be understood because if people understand me, they get tired of me.
I want to make sure my family's straight.
I want to be a skater.
...it's almost natural because when you're an artist you know what you want. And then if you're able to mentally turn that into being a CEO, now you know what the artist wants. That's kinda how I did it.
I am my city. Nobody from my city wants to hear about my city.
Ok you want me up in a cage, then I'll come out in beast mode.
That's one thing about me, and I think that's what most of my fans enjoy about me, that I don't hold nothing back. I do exactly what I want to do, and say exactly what I want to say.
I can change your life, make it so new. Make you never want to go back to the old you.
I don't need it to be easy. I just want it to be worth it.
We're here to live. We're here to do, we're here to be.
I don't like to stop. I believe you stop when you die.
There's this thing that publishes pictures of people out and about. So when I go out, I do see pictures of myself. I don't know where those pictures come from - I mean, I don't see the cameras. But I guess I'm just not looking for them.
