I like being a consumer. I'll do collabs with brands I like, only because I would like something free to wear. But I don't want people to dress like me, which is what you're asking when you create a brand. The fashion industry's just a super-duper headache. Kid Cudi brandcollabsconsumer share on social
These things were happening in my life where I was like, 'Man, I wish my pops was here to see this.' I never had those thoughts before fame, when my life was just a regular life. I wasn't saying, 'I wish my dad could be around and see me working at Applebee's.' Kid Cudi applebeedadfame share on social
Once I accomplish one thing and I'm satisfied, I try something else. I may be 50 and doing something totally outside of music and acting. Maybe I'll become a kindergarten teacher. Kid Cudi accomplishactkindergarten Change image and share on social
I just wanna learn and I wanna grow. I wanna consume as much information as possible. I wanna be great. Kid Cudi consumegreatgrow Change image and share on social
I've always felt that because I'm from Cleveland, which isn't recognised as a place for hip-hop, I needed to step it up if I wanted to make myself known. Kid Cudi clevelandfelthave Change image and share on social
I'm not that big a fan of sampling. But I feel like if I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it to where it's more of a reimagining of a track. The songs that I do utilize samples on, most of it you wouldn't even be able to tell what it was unless I told you. Kid Cudi bigfanfeel share on social
Yeah, but if you're not doing what everyone else is doing then you're going to be misunderstood. People are going to wonder why you're trying to be different; it's just a natural instinct. Kid Cudi instinctmisunderstandnatural Change image and share on social
My background is not typical hip-hop. I didn't grow up in the projects. I grew up in a single family home in a middle-class suburb. That doesn't mean I didn't experience hardship, but to me it's not about that, it's about the future and where we are trying to take it. Kid Cudi backgroundclassexperience share on social
I have all these revelations as I'm writing. Each song is like a chapter of my diary. Kid Cudi chapterdiaryrevelation Change image and share on social
