My favorite color is jungle green. At least, that's what it said on the side of my favorite crayon in first grade. I don't know if it's an official color.

It's always hard for an artist from the U.K. to break into the United States. It's especially harder for a rapper because hip-hop is such an American art form.

I believe in the ethos of the remix, like Andy Warhol making a painting of a Campbell's soup label.

I didn't give myself enough love, so I was searching for it in other places, and it was a never ending struggle.

I'm scared to give gratitude to the people that, if I hadn't heard their stuff, I wouldn't be able to make music.

When I was a kid, my parents were always like, 'Money doesn't buy happiness.' I thought, 'You just didn't make enough money.' I had to go find it out for myself.

I remember I wanted to be an athlete. I wanted to be in the NFL or NBA or something, and I don't think I dreamed of being a benchwarmer. I'm sure I wanted to be the best. But I didn't really ever think I was going to be a famous musician.

If they want to party and do all the things I say brought me sadness in my song, with my song as the soundtrack... so be it.

I know it sounds corny, but I look for a girl that has a beautiful personality on the inside.

I try to tell the truth in my lyrics; write good melodies and make hard beats. So, basically, I just combine hip-hop with melody. That's how I classify myself.

I was a paperboy first, then I worked at a movie theater. But I was a caddie at a golf club, which I didn't like. The people were so bougie and racist at times.

I wanted to be the most famous. And it wasn't until I hung out with Justin Bieber that the whole thing got demystified. The mystique of it was gone.

What I'm trying to do is maintain some mindfulness about being popular - I wasn't so great at that last time around.

I made a CD in my dorm room and put it on the Internet, and my friends blew it up. Within a few months, I was doing shows across the country without a record deal, without a single, without anything.

My focus is to try to appreciate the present moment more and more and more.

I grew up a hip-hop kid doing mix-tapes.

I looked at myself and realized I had a lot of boundaries up about what I would talk about, what was private for me and what wasn't. I decided to just get rid of them. It was quite liberating.

It's easier to make art for a society at a certain point in time with an understanding of what's going on.

I really look up to Louis C.K. I think he's great. And obviously he's very popular, more popular than me. Years ago, I was thinking, naively, it would be great to be that popular. And then I thought about it and then I realized that, with his money and his level of notoriety, he has all of the same emotions that I do.

I enjoyed a cartoon show called 'Recess' throughout my high school career. The target audience for that show was 8-11 years old.
