Musician

When you're making an album, it's, like, exciting every night you make something new, but you're the only one who gets to hear it.

Me personally, I will always be a fan at the end of the day. No matter how big this gets, I still look up to other artists and people I respect creatively.

I would never consider myself a role model in the wide sense of the word.

I've gone on in front of a crowd of 10 people and 7,000 people.

I'm not inherently the most politically or, like, socially conscious rapper, you know? You're not just going to wake up tomorrow and be Common.

Music is only special when it's coming from a genuine place - it's just energy trapped in a bottle.

Being in a position to bring people together like we do is a beautiful thing.

I read the Steve Jobs book, and that kind of changed everything. I've been, like, an Apple geek my whole life and have always seen him as a hero. But reading the book, and learning about how he built the company, and maintaining that corporate culture and all that, I think that influenced me a lot.

I wanna put numbers on the board. And the thing that everybody doesn't get is that it just doesn't happen. It doesn't just fall out of the air and land on your lap; the only way to get it is to get it and put the work in.

I think every artist's next work will reflect a new chapter in their autobiography. Each album tells a story about where they were at during a particular period and how they have evolved.

Just wearing all black comes from Johnny Cash. I'm on the road so much that if I wear all black, my clothes never get dirty. You can't tell if I've worn the same shirt twice.

That raw connection between the two performers is something you can't fully plan. You just go with it and get lost in that moment and feed off of each other.

I feel like if you're stuck doing the same thing your whole career you've got to be doing something wrong. Unless you're getting great results from it or you're just comfortable in that spot.

I grew up with the Pack. When they released 'Vans,' it was a seeing-is-believing moment.

I've seen what you can do in this grassroots, do-it-yourself world, and I've seen how far that can get you. To be iconic, you still need the gatekeepers to open the doors.

When I first decided I wanted to make beats and write songs and stuff like that, it wasn't like I sat down and the first thing I wrote was even halfway legit. It took a while to find my way through it.

I just have more Yves Saint Laurent in my closet, but it is pretty much the same - I just wear black almost 365 days of the year. I am married to it.

You have this ability in hip hop to be invincibly cool, and that is a part of G-Eazy.

I was slicking my hair back when I was in sixth grade.
