Don’t be scared of color.

I want to do films and have my name mentioned next to Wes Anderson and Quentin Tarantino. I don’t want my name mentioned next to other rappers at all.

I wasn’t shy, but I was really hyper. Nobody got my sense of humor. I was a black skater kid.

Rap is really just too conventional. Everybody does the same thing. No one ever pushes the box.

Usually, when I’m rappin’, I’m creating a big story or a concept song that sounds like a movie to me.

I don’t have a therapist, so I use me as my own therapist when I’m making the music.

I’m not hip-hop. I’m Tyler.

My lyrics aren’t offensive. Some people find everything offensive.

I think people get caught up in having an identity.

Do something productive, stay the f**k off of Snapchat.

Do what the f**k makes you happy. Because in the end, who’s there? You.

I never had a drink in my life. I don’t smoke or anything.

Being in love is cool as hell, like having feelings and sh*t, it’s tight.

I just want everyone to be awesome. That’s all it is. I want everyone to be cool in their own way.

I’m not a follower. I’m a leader. And anyone who speaks their mind is always criticized.

I live in my own head and it all makes sense to me.

I’m a pretty nice dude. I have fun, and people take it the wrong way.

I never want to grow up.

Of course awards matter.
