Every project has to stand on its own. It's a different identity within each project, and I feel like that's the way it should be.
Basic emotions can be conveyed through anything. As long as you show people that you're human, they'll relate to it.
Circumstances dictate your set of values, your set of morals.
I say what I have to say at the moment and when I don't want to say it anymore, then I won't.
As a living, breathing person, you must love things that derive from nature.
We live in an age where everyone is so opinionated about everything in general in life, especially their expertise or their personal knowledge of anything that they're commenting on.
I'm not really scared of a lot of things. I'm scared of possums. And I'm scared of raccoons sometimes, it depends on how big it is - I'm scared of the smaller raccoons because the bigger ones are slower.
We still wading in the water... Cocaine, blunts, marinating in the water. Lean and took a puff, and then she gave it to my father, Used to take the bullets out so I could play with the revolver. Satan serenading ever since I was a toddler, Tell 'em talk is cheap...niggas living for the dollar.
I think the opinion is worth less now than it ever has been.
I feel like finding the balance is the struggle with making music in general.
I live to die; better that than to live a lie.
I don't have a message. You already have all these people telling you how to live, who to be, what to wear, what to drive, what drugs to do - I just want people to see what I see.
I feel like it's impossible to be completely yourself, because you'll always get bored; you have to push your own limits.
I hate when a show has an age limit. Like a little tiny child is standing outside, like, 'Hey, I wanted to go but I couldn't.' That sucks.
