I'm not a manufactured artist. Nobody taught me how to be a proper artist.

I'm sort of like Jean-Paul Goude, the graphic designer who used to style Grace Jones and shoot all her visuals, just meaning that I use all mediums in one - music, fashion, and art. I'm hitting it from all angles.

Rapping can be repetition sometimes. Sometimes you gotta highlight your words in a certain kind of way. So I always was a fan of sing-rapping. It was always funny to me a little bit, and I think that being funny and being able to laugh, even at yourself, is a form of flattery.

No city owns me, you know what I'm saying? I'm from New York, but no city owns me. Nobody can bottle up my sound and box me in. Yes, I am a rapper, but am I a New York rapper? No. I am from New York, I love New York to death, but I will not conform myself to one place, no.

Tour is fun.

I was born alone, I'm gonna die alone. I have my own identity. I'm my own person, and no two people are the same.

Mixtapes are always small scale to me - they never get taken seriously, and they're always short-lived.
ASAP Ferg -
I used to listen to 'Ready to Die' around the time I dropped out of college. I was scrambling for work and money.
ASAP Ferg -
I thought I was half white or something because I only know white people as Ferguson as their last name.

Jeremy Scott reminds me of Harmony Korine, mixing all worlds and making them into one - you just never know what he's up to.
ASAP Ferg -
Sometimes I can't sleep 'cause I can't get a melody or a beat out my head, so I just have to wake up and, like, record it on a voice note.

Me jumping on a song with Ariana Grande is just showing versatility, you know what I'm saying?
ASAP Ferg -
Alexander Wang is a young designer, and his style is so profound. He took sports and street and kind of combined it into upscale high fashion. He made a white T-shirt a luxury.

At the end of the day, you can't take my love for my people away.
ASAP Ferg -
I create art. It's kinda abstract.
ASAP Ferg -
I used to be a daredevil on BMX bikes.
