On that pet monkey: "I want people to start seeing me and feel like they can connect with me. I’ve made myself so unrelatable the past year with all the stuff that I was doing. Not even bad stuff sometimes, just outrageous stuff. Like, you got a monkey, what are you doing?"

On his pop music competition (like One Direction, who are dropping an album on the same day this November): "I’ll hear songs on the radio, and I’m not really a fan of what’s going on right now in music. I’ll hear it and go, 'Ugh, why is this being played so much right now?' I have such great music that I want to share with the world."

On his secret prolific side: "I’ve done probably three or four albums that I haven’t released yet. I’ve gotten all of these different modes, and try to dive into different ideas, and I finally came up with something that was pretty genius."

How things started going south early in his career: "I forgot what I was about, what my mom raised me to be. I veered off, and I got tainted. I came into the music industry at 13. I was trying to trust people and they’d break my heart at 15."

We fuck with you, bro! We love you! Aye! Keep your head up, bro!' It was kind of funny to hear that, especially from cats in jail."
