If kids and teenagers can get into a band, it's probably not because they think it's brainy.

I still to this day get the most inspiration from rap lyrics.

I do think sometimes there's danger in guest appearance mania. I've seen too many examples that sound cool on paper, like 'Oh, get that guy to sing the hook on that guy's song,' and then that's all it is. It's a cool idea that sounds good on paper.

Musicals don't get enough credit for being so surreal. It's like an alternate universe.

I still think that if you're excited about something, you have to work at it.

Rapping and singing are not two polar opposites. There's so much middle ground. And I think there's a lot of people who find that middle ground.
