Whatever I write is coming out of me naturally. There's nothing to prove. Everything has been proven already.
I'm an open book. People seem to like people that are very open - accepting, and not rude.
When I did 'Ephorize,' I didn't know that later on I'd be releasing another album. It just came.
I talk about my body because it's my body.
People think that a label is going to get you to the top, and of course they're going to get you to the top. That's what they're good for. They're giving you this money but you have to pay all that back.
Equality, equality, equality. I'm all about equality, that's the main thing and the only thing I'm about.
I feel like I'm an entertainer.
Yes, I live in Chicago. Yes, I support Chicago.
I actually grew up listening to music as like - church music and stuff like that.
Around 10 years old I started being into church and being around the church. I started doing poetry - I was doing all clean poetry, totally clean.
I just always had a crazy imagination.
It was this thing I used to do, where I would get on the phone and put my voice in a man's voice like, 'Hey, you're talking to Tom.'
I think everything that played a part in my life growing up is in my music. Being homeless, living in shelters, dealing with over-aged, older men that hit on me... all that is in the music.
I like to have control over what I'm doing, and that no one else is controlling me.
The reason I have LGBT fans is because I'm an open book; they're attracted to that.
You can't catch me outside.
When I was in fourth grade, I started writing a lot of poetry, and eventually, someone in the church was like, 'You should switch this over to rapping.' I went home and did that - started putting my poems over rap.
We write love songs because love is a part of our lives.
There are so many double standards, not just in rap, but everywhere.
Anything guys can do, girls can, and most of the time, they're out there working harder and doing it better.
