“My days are busy only because I've made them busy so I can stay on top.”

“I feel as if I have me a Grammy bro, that's on everything.”

“Remember me as an original.”

“Can't nobody judge me. And even if they did, I'm beyond that.”

“My mother bought me a karaoke machine for Christmas. I was thinking I wanted to be a rapper. I was in eighth grade. I was so shy. I recorded myself under the bed. I asked for that gift for Christmas.”

“I had nothing but time on my hands. That's when it became, 'Quan, what are you good at?' Poetry... I read a book every day. I wrote a song every day.”

“I've done a lot of wrong in my life, Lord as my witness, but I've been put in a position where Atlanta is depending on me. I ride with that on my shoulders. You gotta grow.”

“I played from 14 to 18 - like, I was very good at it. I was Mr. Baseball my freshman year. We were good and we had great talent.”

“I find myself with a camera a lot, like taking pictures. I love writing scripts for my videos. That excites me. Anything where I'm writing, I can paint pictures with words. Like poetry, man. That's where my music stems from. But I like taking pictures, I like to get in depth with the camera.”

“If you don't provide and work, you don't get paid. I know the more effort I put into it, the more money I get.”

“The words I use, I try to use them the right way because I know people watching and listening.”

“It's not just so much rap. Like, I wanna work with Lady Gaga. Someone I know has some longevity. My whole vision is longevity.”

“I wanna make sure that whatever label I sign with believes in me the way I believe in me.”

“I just try to be comfortable, man - to be me.”

“For me to be on the field with Michigan State at the Rose Bowl, I'll have the butterflies. I didn't go to college, so this means a lot.”

“I had to rehabilitate my mind and so I started reading more, and I became a better person.”

“I don't want to be categorized as a this type of rapper, or a 'Some Type Of Way' sound, or a 'Walk Thru' sound. Every different single I try to give you a different sound just to show you I can be a game player.”

“I'm not even a dance type of person, you can ask anybody around me.”

“Type of Way,' like a lot of my music, it's about real events.”

“If I don't believe in myself, who's gone believe in me?”
