Humans have voids, and you need things to fill voids... I didn't have a dad to fill that male model void, so when I heard Eminem or freaking seen Dave Chapelle, that's what I gravitated to.
I'm a big 'Goosebumps' fan - 'Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes.' My favorites are the pick-your-own-death ones.
I don't have a therapist, so I use me as my own therapist when I'm making the music.
For the record, I don't worship the devil. I just hate religion.
I don't like people around me sad. I like making people happy.
I'm an optimistic guy. I'm one of those big dreamers. I'm one of those kids with that annoying imagination.
I never had a drink in my life. I don't smoke or anything.
If the world was ending, I think I would grab some Cinnamon Toast Crunch, a bunch of water, and I'd probably just... I'd probably go crazy.
I wasn't shy, but I was really hyper. Nobody got my sense of humor. I was a black skater kid.
I try to tell all the - not even the kids, even people older than me - to just be themselves. Don't wear what I wear 'cause I wear it; wear what you like.
Youth is something I never wanna take for granted. I just want to smile and live life.
I really want to sing, but my tone of voice is really too deep to do what I want.
I don't like being put in a box. I just make music, you know?
I don't really listen to rap; I just like to rap.
