Lil Dicky

“I have Kanye's ego to some extent.”

“Deep down, I want to be a big rapper. I want people to love what I'm doing.”

“I was lucky enough to be in the studio with Drake and Kanye before I put 'Freaky Friday' out. I showed them the video before I put it out.”

“I always have to poop right before I do a concert. I don't feel nervous, but I think that must be my body reacting.”

“I wanted to explain that just because I'm rapping in this funny way doesn't mean that I'm not worthy of actually being evaluated as a rapper.”

“Lil Wayne was one of my favorite rappers.”

“I would say that I don't make music quickly; like, my process has been very slow, and my bar is very high, and I don't really rush to make music just to get something out there.”

“I've been working a lot with Benny Blanco; he's a producer. And I've been working with Diplo and a bunch of other people. Detail, Charlie Handsome. A variety of people.”

“I will be in a position where I can afford the Bugatti, but I most certainly won't be buying it.”

“Deep down, I always had a belief I would get on the charts.”

“I always dreamed of being an entertainer. So, my whole life to some extent, or from the age that I can remember onwards, I knew I was going to have to make some sort of attempt at being noticed for being funny.”

“I'm not a big festivalgoer as in, like, a citizen.”

“It is crazy how people can't understand the concept of comedy and music. It's like they have to be mutually exclusive.”

“It's impressive to the girl that I'm texting that I have my own emojis. It adds to my charm as a man seeking love.”

“I think everybody has their own inner rap spirit animal.”

“As a public figure, I'm always interested in being part of brands that I actually enjoy. So, I would never do something with somebody I don't believe in, a product I don't believe in. There are so many products out there that I love that I'd chomp at the bit to be a part of their campaign.”

“I've always been totally enamored by hip-hop. I wouldn't say I liked it exclusively growing up. It was, like, that and alt-rock. But I always preferred it. It set a tone for everything I wanted to do in life.”

“The way you respect hip-hop is by being true to yourself.”

“I was a business major at the University of Richmond, and after I graduated, I took a job at a corporate ad agency. I had comedic dreams, but I also had a realistic look at what I had to do when I left school: maybe I'm funny, but maybe I'm one of a hundred thousand funny people, you know?”

“My whole initial goal was to be a comedian, so it's not like I chose to do a TV show out of nowhere. It's kind of always been goal to do a TV show.”
