You hear a lot of rap songs about spending money. I thought, wouldn't it be funny to make a song about saving money because it's ironic, but beyond irony, I genuinely have pride in saving money.
LeBron James - I'm such a big basketball fan, and to be in his body for a day and be able to just dunk at will, have that level of court awareness and size, oh my goodness, that would be a treat.
Being funny is my biggest differentiator, and I think I'd be a fool not to use that, and there's nothing I enjoy personally more than making a human being laugh. But then, I also think I have a serious side to me.
Love is a fickle thing. But I still believe in it.
I've been working a lot with Benny Blanco; he's a producer. And I've been working with Diplo and a bunch of other people. Detail, Charlie Handsome. A variety of people.
Like, I haven't even tried a cherry before, because I'm such a picky eater, and I behave like a 9-year-old.
My fears are never about failure - it's about extreme success.
I can't really rap the way rappers rap; I drive a 2002 Toyota Avalon.
People see a 'South Park' episode, and there's racially insensitive jokes - nobody bats an eye because they're expecting that in that context. In hip-hop, they don't expect that kind of thing because it's a white person in a predominantly black world.
One time, I performed 'Save Dat Money' with Justin Bieber. I was at his album release party, and he was like, 'Do you want to do the song?' I was also on a date, so the date met Justin Bieber, and I couldn't have looked cooler.
I'm pretty self-aware, and I am an embarrassingly flawed human being in a ton of ways.
I knew I could rap a little bit, which is not the most unique way for being funny. The more I did it, the better I got at rapping, and then I fell in love with the craft of it, and the possibility that I was a good rapper was very intriguing.
Lil Wayne was one of my favorite rappers.
I care most about what rappers think about me as a rapper, and I've gotten a lot of praise. I think rappers understand I'm a really good rapper, and that means more to me than a random person, you know, 'cause they know what goes into making rap music.
I was lucky enough to be in the studio with Drake and Kanye before I put 'Freaky Friday' out. I showed them the video before I put it out.
The thing is, I was never really a comedian - a comedian would scoff at the notion of me as a comedian because I've never done anything, really. I've always just been some guy who's funny.
I have Kanye's ego to some extent.
I will be in a position where I can afford the Bugatti, but I most certainly won't be buying it.
I think people just have to realize that music grows, and hip-hop evolves. I mean, everything evolves.
I've always been totally enamored by hip-hop. I wouldn't say I liked it exclusively growing up. It was, like, that and alt-rock. But I always preferred it. It set a tone for everything I wanted to do in life.
