Contrary to popular belief, maybe, I'm a really friendly guy, I guess, and I really like meeting people. And I'm not really super impressed even if you're my hero; I can just rap with you and we can hang.

Usually I'm not really conscious of what's going on. I don't have a lot of memories onstage. At all.
