My conscience is really active. So I feel bad about spending excess amount of money on things.
I was a loner; I spent the first half of high school alone.
I know that Shia LaBeouf and Fiona Apple went to my alma mater, Hamilton High.
If you think I'm a young boy singing these songs, dope. Run with that.
I used to feel like I wasn't a good songwriter when I couldn't finish a song by myself.
I love being part of a creative process, so having a band to work with is perfect for me.
The gay community hated me for being part of Odd Future. They thought Odd Future was homophobic because they tend to use homophobic slang, and they were like: 'How can you work for and support homophobes?' But they aren't homophobic; they just don't really care whether you're offended or not.
When I started making music, I just wanted to be the producer who sang the hooks. I wanted to be Pharrell, honestly, the one who made the beats and was in the music video with the girls.
My dad makes me breakfast every morning; he's very worried about my nutrition.
I learned everything I knew about recording and engineering from my experience with Odd Future, so I was pretty comfortable with not having much.
If I have a session with an artist who I've never worked with before, they don't have to meet my parents, you know? Unless they want to.
I think the audience is getting it right, you know what I mean? And that's kind of rare when the artist feels like their audience understand them. But I feel like people are understanding exactly what I'm going for. And that's awesome.
Performing live was something that I had to really work at.
It was a nerve-wracking first few years having to tour and perform in front of people with the little bit of confidence I had.
My mom wasn't expecting me to end up how I ended up. When she wanted to have kids, she wanted to have two girls, and then she got my brother and me. Which is a disappointment to anybody. You can't help it.
I want people to love me for my music.
When I was 14 and I wanted to buy stuff, I didn't like asking for stuff from my parents, so I started a couple companies, and the last one ended up being my studio.
I have stopped going out places just to avoid uncomfortable conversations.
I sing every day, on a regular basis.
I've always known I was a genius. But I never thought I was a star.
