“I'm an owl; I'm up. I probably go to sleep during the time when most people wake up. The first half of the day, you might not catch me.”
“Often, it's the little things, like the title of a song, that can make a huge difference in its success.”
“When I first got signed, I used to literally pick up a pen and pad. Write bars in my notes, even whole songs. Nowadays, I just go off the feeling.”
“R. Kelly is one of the pioneers that I grew up listening to. If he's classified as an R&B artist, then I want to be like that. I don't want to have limits either.”
“I was raised on the Southside of Chicago, and my whole family was musically-inclined.”
“What I can offer the game is creating a sound that, when you hear it, you know it's mine.”
“Chicago, we always had it. People just shied away because it's nothing businesswise from the industry. Everybody from Chi will go to N.Y.C. or L.A. - R. Kelly to Kanye to even Twista. Everybody is great from there, but it's nothing downtown.”
“I took about four or five years of French in high school, but I definitely don't speak French as well as I thought I did then.”
“I got my first set of drums when I was around 3. I went from band to marching band to Latin jazz band - it's like riding a bike.”
“When I look for a woman, I look for one that's real - that's keeping it 100. I rather someone know that they're sexy and not show it.”
“I can't wait 'til the world embraces Chicago - not only for our talent, but just to visit our city and not be so scared to come to it and not be subjected to what people's perception is of it.”
“My competition keeps me driven. My family and son and being home in Chicago keeps me humble, and my fans. They're the reason why I'm going hard and making sure everyone knows how to say my name.”
“People send me records, and if don't like them, I won't do them; I don't care how much money you offer.”
“I feel like music is just a platform and foundation just to be able to explore and see what's outside of it.”
“I got archives of records. I have records from when I was 17 that I still think are pretty dope.”
“There are artists that actually don't like going into the studio. They get mad when people say they've got a session. I'm just the opposite. I actually enjoy it.”
“I still listen to Ginuwine, man. I can still listen to Donell Jones.”
“Effortlessly, I feel like my records have longevity.”
“I work well under pressure. Actually, I love pressure.”
“I'm curious to know how many newborn babies will be named Jeremih after my second album.”
