I don't prepare for a live show.

I am reserved; I don't speak much.

I am not a businessman, I am an artist.

I'm a hardcore performer. The rest follows.

My lyrical content is all about entertainment.

Somehow, I don't see myself doing a lead role.

The hard part of being a celebrity is staying one!

Criticism is for real. The amount of hate that I get is.

Never have I ever come across any woman who is imperfect!

Money is a resource for me and it is needed to make music.

Bollywood is a tough place to be in and survival isn't easy.

I have never deliberately tried to hurt someone's sentiments.

An album takes a lot of work and energy and dedication to make.

Hip hop minus plugged sounds can be a very different experience.

The whole idea of performing before an audience is fun and organic.

Of course, I have been influenced by my Punjabi and Hariyanvi roots.

It's hard to find parking space in Delhi and the traffic sucks there.

I got into rap because I can't sing. If I could sing, I'd be a singer.

Both the industries, be it Bollywood or music, have been really kind to me.

I have always been a very determined and stubborn person about what I want.

I was offered Vicky Kaushal's role in 'Lust Stories,' which I had declined.

Whenever there's a crying kid, I have to make sure that the kid stops crying.

I think of myself as a reporter. I just rhyme my reports and give them a beat.

You need to have a heart to help others and separate yourself from your money.

I am comfortable doing independent music; it gives me more freedom as an artiste.

My lines are witty in nature and I love to be surrounded by people who are witty.

Confidence is the biggest swag, and that comes with success, which is subjective.

My music comes before my stardom, so the pressure of handling fame does not matter.

I feel I do not have script sense. Like Kartik Aaryan has a very good script sense.

Whenever I work on a song, my focus is on the listeners who follow my type of music.

I would never ever dare to objectify anyone who has fed me, protected me or loved me.

The trouble with indie music in India is it continues to be overshadowed by Bollywood.

As a successful artist it is my job to give the indie scene as much of a push as I can.

I studied hard and completed my engineering. And I also pursued music that was my passion.

I come from a humble background, where my family was struggling to be called middle class.

If one is hardworking and has faith in one's talent, I think it just adds to one's confidence.

Hindi film songs are the best of everything - whether it is lyrics, melody and talented singers.

For me, safety is a huge parameter for a city's progress. If your city is safe, it is progressing.

When I bring my music to a live audience, I know right away whether it is being appreciated or not.

God has made all of us in a certain way, and we are all unique. I see no reason to find fault in that.

When I started listening to rap music, I loved the fact that there were stories being told in 16 bars.

My father was a government officer and for him, the ultimate dream was to see me become an IAS officer.

I rather create better music and let that talk, than me going out and dissing other musicians in public.

I go out of my way to help people, but I don't tell people. Goodness is not about beating your own drum.

Art is subjective and, as an artiste, if our artistic work is not appreciated by the majority, it hurts.

Indians have a huge misconception when it comes to rap. It isn't just about heavy beats; it is about poetry.

Haters will be haters, you have got to acknowledge them and move on as the ratio of love to hate is too high.

Artistes never make their image. Image is made by the fans and the artiste's job is to fight that perception.

I am a qualified civil engineer but academics never attracted me as I was a sleepoholic when I was in college.

While I hope that people like my work, I don't think an artist should be afraid of ­people not liking his work.
