Used to tell me the sky's the limit, now the sky is our point of view.

I definitely consider myself a Christian. There's things that I believe in, there's things I have a self-belief on. I know I got a great relationship with God and the universe. I just believe in being a righteous person and karma. Doing unto others as you would have done unto you. I really want to help teach that.

I'm not that big, physically. I'm just big where it counts -- I got a big heart!

I was a telemarketer in my senior year at high school. I had to sell prosthetic limbs to paralysed veterans. I was making 150 bucks a week and it was horrible.

I feel like when you're a celebrity, people dehumanize you and they forget you're a real person.

My mom graduated from the University of Michigan, which is a great school. Then she got her Master's from NYU. She wanted to be an actress, so when she graduated, she had a dream, and she started following it. She moved to New York and took acting classes with people like Denzel Washington.

Seafood is one of my biggest pet peeves.

I got this tiger head ring that's similar to a Cartier ring. I had my jeweler Sean from Detroit make it similar to the Cartier ring, but gold and diamonded-out. That's my Detroit tiger. It's made with two different golds -- the bottom is yellow and the top is gold.

Everything I wanted to do was big. I feel like my music is big, the mark I'ma leave in this world is big, so I feel like that's the perfect name.

I get sick all the time because I get no rest and sleep, but it's definitely worth it.

Are you willing to give up what you love, for who you love?

I really just appreciate good jewelry, clarity, gold. I think gold is made for kings and pharaohs -- that's what I am. That's why I rock gold and, you know, stuff like that.

I'm really vulnerable onstage because it's just me. I'm not really trying to put up a front or act a certain way.

My music is the essence of Detroit. At one time, we were the center of the world, man -- Motor City.

Lil Wayne is somebody who I used to ride to school listening to in my car. You know from Tha Carter to Tha Carter II, to Dedication 1 and 2, to Da Drought, his mixtapes. You know you got that for him as him being a rap legend, somebody who you look up to.

I just knew what I wanted to be since the third grade. And I always did well in school, I was the type to get good grades, I never really got below Cs or nothing like that. I always kept it A-B. But there's no school for rap.

Sometimes when you make good stuff and you love it, it gets outdated sometimes, because you've held on to it so long, you may not like it like you used to.

I hate all the old pictures of me before 2010 -- and they are always the first ones to come up. That's why I don't Google myself, man.

Fame necessarily isn't really tied to success at all. Fame is just being recognized for doing what you do, whether it's good or bad. Osama bin Laden was famous.

I want to change the world. I want to be a part of culture. I want to help teach.
