I have a pro tools rig that I carry in my backpack.
I'd like to see Apple and Dell factories be brought to the inner cities; in every project in America, there's some factory there, and it's abandoned, and I'd like to see those factories open and bring jobs to America.
I remember when I was 11, I told my mom, 'One day I'm going to buy you a house.' And she said, 'Boy, don't you be making promises you can't keep.' I was like: 'No, Ma, it's not a promise. I'm going to buy you a house one day.'

When I got into junior high school, that's when my mom let me dress how I wanted to dress. Up to that point I wore suits to school all the time.
If countries were people, England and France would be old men. Italy would be dead. Compared with them, America is in its 20s.
You know, the Super Bowl is so fresh that every single commercial is even on, you know, some next-level entertainment.
