Travis Scott

In my whole career, all I wanted was acceptance from Kid Cudi. I don't care about nothing else! This dude saved my life.

The most ironic thing is my grandfather has his masters in music composition; he was a jazz composer. My dad was a musician, too. He played more, like, soul music.

Sometimes I might be sleepy, and sometimes I've literally been sleeping backstage, woken up, gone straight on stage or gone crazy. It's not like I psyche myself; I don't do any of that.

When you come to my show, it's like a no-holds-barred, underground Royal Rumble.

Kanye is the leading eagle: he's like the president who stands up for kids like us who have ideas.

I wouldn't make music with you if I didn't know you. If you're a good artist, and if you know it as well, I'm down.

I don't really write. I'm an on-the-spot type of person. This beat, let's listen to it; let's vibe. And then I'll do a melody, and then we'll go back and do it.

Raging and having good feelings and having fun is something I plan on doing and spreading across the world. I just need air and a mic.

James Blake is a real good friend of mine. He's real different than what you thinks. He's super turned up.

Honestly, I really can't speak on others, but in a sense, I feel like every artist always has their problems with the industry because we all want to have our creative way.

My A&R at Epic got fired the first week I got signed.

I'm a magician, like David Blaine. I could never fall.

With albums like 'Rodeo,' 'Days Before Rodeo' and 'Owl Pharaoh,' I was really tuned into wanting to get people to understand my conscious and who I was mentally and who I am mentally.

My music isn't rappity-rap-rap-rap.

You've gotta motivate kids. They wanna grow up. They got problems. You've gotta give 'em that music to make 'em feel like they're OK, and it's only a couple of artists that do that.

There are people who take fashion at different levels, but personally, I'm just a kid with it.

I was on mad platinum albums... I produced and wrote on them.

I'm not hip-hop.

I've got a song with Roscoe Dash - that's next level, man.

I feel like everyone just gets constricted by their parents or, just, life.
