Kanye West is my favorite artist.
Jealousy is just love and hate at the same time.
Reviews condition people. At the end of the day, a lot of human minds are malleable. They can be easily shaped with strong words.
'Perfection' to me is, I walk away from a situation and say, 'I did everything I could do right there. There was nothing more that I could do.' I was a hundred percent, like the meter was at the top. There was nothing else I could have done. You know? Like, I worked as hard as I possibly could have. That's perfection.
The ideal girl is driven, working on something other than modeling or being a singer.
When I'm writing, I'm thinking about how the songs are going to play live. Fifty bars of rap don't translate onstage. No matter how potent the music, you lose the crowd. They want a hook; they want to sing your stuff back to you.
Trying to meet new women, it's always a little more difficult as opposed to calling somebody I knew that's single and trying to rebuild that connection.
I feel connected to my generation through the music, but I also fear for us. We're in a very self-destructive state where we're addicted to outside opinions and we all feel like we have fans.
Rappers aren't the really rich ones. We all have nice houses with studios and cars, but you need a piece of someone's business to be super wealthy.
I like sweaters. I have a sweater obsession, I guess.
I feel that when you care about your music, taking risks is something you should do to keep things exciting.
When I think of myself, I think of Toronto. My music would never sound the way it does if it weren't for Toronto.
I push myself in a lot of aspects when I write a song. I write a piece and where most people would stop and say, 'Oh, that's the hook right there,' I'll move that to the first four bars of the verse and do a new hook.
A relationship can give you a gut wrenching feeling sometimes. It's a real emotional ride.
