I had to try and find a way to express happiness without sounding corny.

There's an inherent thing in me where, if things are going too smooth, I'll sabotage the hell out of them, just to make the music more of a sanctuary.

There was three or four years of my life where I hated myself and you know, would have quite happily ended it.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

Shaft was a pop culture figure along t he lines of, I guess, Dirty Harry - except that he wasn't as much of a racist. So yeah, I was always a fan.

When I was a rapper, the groupies didn't have to try too hard with me. Just show up at the hotel.
