I'm a people's person, believe it or not. I just have a dark side to me, which we all do.

But for real, for me, I feel like with the red lipstick thing it all depends on the pair of complexion. I'm just being for real. You have to be fair skinned to get away with that.

A lot of energy and excitement -- that's what a lot of my shows are, energy and excitement.

For instance, one big issue in hip hop is the gay thing. It's 2013, and it's a shame that, to this day, that topic still gets people all excited. It's crazy. And it makes me upset that this topic even matters when it comes to hip hop, because it makes it seem like everybody in hip hop is small-minded or stupid -- and that's not the case.

Design my own line? No, I just like the culture.

Purple lipstick? Naw, that looks stupid on all girls!

Fashion is almost like a religion, for me at least.

I have a Rolex, but no diamonds. Rappers wear diamonds to compensate for a lack of fashion sense. I don't even have pierced ears -- I'm not into that; it's too much.

Everybody should be able to enjoy their life, because you only live once. So I just want to get it all out there and be the best role model that I can be, if people want to put me in that kind of predicament. I mean, I didn't ask to be a role model, because I'm not perfect.

I used to be homophobic, but as I got older, I realized that wasn't the way to do things. I don't discriminate against anybody for their sexual preference, for their skin color... that's immature.

I haven't been a gay activist. I haven't protested for gay rights or none of that, but one thing I can say is that a lot of the designers I wear are gay and I like their clothes.

Probably, violent things I've done when I was younger, was probably the most despicable thing that I've ever done.

(I know one thing) Anything is better than that 1 train.

I like women. I love women.

I hate the hype. When 50 Cent came out, people were saying that he was the best rapper alive: Oh, he got shot nine times, he's better than Tupac, he's better than Biggie. That was all hype.

In Harlem, I got all my black friends. But when I go downtown, I got black, white, Asian, Indian friends. There's no borders, no barriers.

I want to inspire people to really open up their minds and not be one-sided or biased or hypocritical.

It would be disrespectful to take my stardom and bully my way into the fashion industry.

I don't like new cars; I'm into vintage cars -- there's a Jaguar E-Type in the 'Goldie' video.

All of the young people -- the artsy people, people who get overlooked because they're weird or they don't have hype around them -- need to get some shine.
