My mom just understands about stuff. We have a really good trust, and she knows I can take care of myself.
-
I had a very modest upbringing.
-
The big things I've had are things I bought myself.
-
Even in my darkest times I knew I had a good future ahead of me.
-
I wanted to be a professional baseball player.
-
Life started getting good when I started making money.
-
But I've consistently worked for 10 years.
-
Like, they know that I have a habit of rubbing my earlobes, I've been doing it since I was two.
-
I didn't do the typical things that young kids do.
-
It's been such a group effort. When you're a new band and you have limited resources, you end up getting people that are there because they love what you do, and that's great.
-
Even the great bad guys in cinema history, they're likable.
-
Nobody believes it, but I slept on a futon till I was 13.
-
My theory is, independent movies only work if you're willing to push the material and do something different.
-
I wasn't ever good enough to be on the baseball team and that sort of stuff.
-
I think some people are on a mission to die, and I never was.
-
When you go in and do a cool, small character, it feels less like work and more like fun.
-
I like to challenge myself and give myself a timeline. It pushes me to be more creative and actually do these things, not just dream about them.
-
It's not easy starting a label and putting out your own records. It's required me at times to humble myself and really push and work hard to try to give this the best shot. I really want to share this with the world.
-
I have a habit of recording records very quickly - and not in a haphazardly way, not in a way where I'm not focused on details, because I'm a freak when it comes to that.
-
I've been producing records, and as early as my late teens, early 20s, I put out a hip-hop record and then the Ringside stuff. You know, I just feel like I want to spend these years realizing all of my ambitions. I feel like we live in an age in which you can chase your dreams with focus and a vision.
