I love surrealism.

I write all my hooks.

My memory stops at 14.

Being a rock star rocks.

Economics runs the world.

Fame is the weirdest thing ever.

Cleveland, Ohio, is the real deal.

Our flaws are what make us perfect.

There is no VIP. We're all the same.

I don't feel fear anymore, in any form.

I'm trying to be the Dr. Dre of Cleveland.

I have so many accomplishments under my belt.

The last thing I want to do is be complacent.

There really are a lot of stereotypes I fight.

My time on 'Roadies' gave me serenity and space.

Not everyone wants to be in misery in every song!

I'm an anarchist. I have it tattooed on my stomach.

New life situations equal out to new kinds of songs.

I respect all grandpas around the world doin' it big.

I believe tattoos are a lifestyle not a fashion trend.

I actually have an Avenged Sevenfold tattoo on my body.

I think me and Macklemore exist in two different worlds.

I'm a kid from Ohio in an industry that drives people insane.

Every time I perform, I always try to have that 'wow' factor.

With anything that happens in Cleveland, I always get involved.

I don't think having a conservative mind in 2012 is a cool thing.

Honestly, I look in the mirror, and I'm not the greatest looking kid.

I think, with music, I'm a lyricist who talks about real life things.

I listened to Korn and Limp Bizkit and that whole era of heavy music.

You see my tears, in the rain underneath it all, we're just the same.

I was really excited about 'Nerve' with Dave Franco and Emma Roberts.

I've had more life experiences than most people that are older than me.

I've never been comfortable with sharing anything: I was a single child.

My executive board, my management, my friends, are so ethnically diverse.

I think couldn't not make a song called 'Wild Boy' and not be a wild boy.

My view on music and the way that it's portrayed is that it's a religion.

I'm probably one of the wildest, most out-of-control people in the industry.

Cause whatever you love could be taken away, So live like it's your dying day.

Before I even started listening to rap music, I was really into metal and punk.

It's an honor to step onstage and celebrate the service and sacrifices of our soldiers.

That's a trick question Peter. It's real-life. Master P is a thug. He's poppin' everybody.

I've graced almost every stage in N.Y., from Webster Hall to Gramercy Theater to Best Buy.

Life is too short to live the same day twice. So each new day make sure you live your life.

Don't ever look down, be comfortable with who you are, our flaws are what makes us perfect.

A lot of time, my inspiration comes from pain: growing pains, hunger pains, or money pains.

I would never think twice about marching next to my brother for an issue we both believe in.

As far as I'm concerned, I don't really care anymore what people think about me. I'm just gonna be me.

When you look a certain way, or you have a certain presence, people take someone else's word over yours.

They always say if you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere, but I say that about Cleveland.

You can make something out of nothing. I proved that with my career, making it out of the city that I'm from.
