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'm cool with Jay-Z. Jay-Z is genuinely my friend.

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.

I respect Chris Brown. I'd like to call myself a friend - I don't know if I'm allowed to do that.

Jealousy is just love and hate at the same time.

I have an urge to communicate. I think I'm a change from what it would be like dating a normal guy who doesn't talk too much.

My mother made me truly appreciate women.

I feel that when you care about your music, taking risks is something you should do to keep things exciting.

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.

When I think of myself, I think of Toronto. My music would never sound the way it does if it weren't for Toronto.

A relationship can give you a gut wrenching feeling sometimes. It's a real emotional ride.

I'm actually a very honest person, and sometimes I end up like, 'Man, I said too much.' It's hard for me not to tell the truth when you ask me.

I like Ryan Gosling as an actor. I watch all of his movies, and he's Canadian and I just like his swag. I read his interviews and I'm a big fan of his.

My dad is a great writer. Naturally talented, naturally charming. He embodies that back-in-the-day cool.

I'm dying to be a great dad one day, whenever that day comes.

Me and my dad are friends. We're cool. I'll never be disappointed again, because I don't expect anything anymore from him. I just let him exist, and that's how we get along.
