I've been compared to Drake before and Kid Cudi.

You never know how many people are compassionate about something, especially when it's not happening to you. You just hope somebody's out there helping.

I think love is, by far, the strongest force in the entire universe. Love is so strong, it'll make you do something that, in any other circumstance, you would never do.

We really have the power to illuminate all negative things in our life, but we have to find that light source inside of us and really tap in with it and reconnect with it.

Kid Cudi has saved lives. He saved my life.

I am a pretty bad driver, so when I drive, I need to be calm. I can't be vibing to DMX, all hype, in the car.

Imagine if James Brown was your roommate. What? Do you know how much fun you'd be having all the time? Oh my God, he would have you looking the freshest. He would have you doing the funnest stuff for sure, easily. You'd be having the most crackin' parties.

I think about love being so important because, to me, that's the reason we were put on Earth. Love, in a sense, is God to me.

I've always been such an album-driven artist that I never really stopped to think about how cool it would be to just have one really big song.

My style has been compared to someone probably like the Fresh Prince.

I try to make things as versatile as possible. Usually, you have to listen to one artist for a certain vibe and another artist to catch the next vibe. I want to make an album that has all of that in there.

Growing up in California has completely made me the person that I am.

I don't think anyone has the same music sound as me. I can't think of anyone else.

'Beautiful Loser' had a lot of great records. It had a lot of really heartfelt songs on there. But I felt, at the time, it didn't have it's own cohesive sound.

I'm a drama kid at heart. That is definitely where my heart and soul is. I did 'Hairspray' in high school - I was Seaweed.

People called me sharktooth, Dracula. I got made fun of so much cause I couldn't afford braces.

I've always wanted to do acting.

As I grew up and really - 22, 23, 24 - I was faced with new problems that were bigger. A lot of them were issues that pertained to people that were super close to me.

I'm definitely a West Coast artist, so much so that I'm gonna get 'Thug Life' tatted on my stomach one day.

Randomly enough, all of my favorite rappers growing up were East Coast rappers. I don't know. I just related to them a little more at first - because if you're born in L.A., and you lived there your whole life, Snoop Dogg literally sounds like cars driving by. You feel me? You hear Snoop Dogg so much.
