![]() ![]() I was sitting like, there’s nothing I want to buy. People are more obsessed with the idea of failing than the idea of succeeding. – Tyler, The Creatorīeing in love is cool as hell, like having feelings and sh*t, it’s tight. And anyone who speaks their mind is always criticized. I’m one of those kids with that annoying imagination. I think people get caught up in having an identity. It’s like a math problem I can’t comprehend. A lot of people don’t move like that and it just boggles my mind. If I f**king hate it, I’m on to the next thing.

I try to tell all the – not even the kids, even people older than me – to just be themselves. I’m so stoked my life panned out how it was. I think, if I had a dad, I would have gone the normal college route. He’s one of the most successful people in the world, but his music could be so much tighter. I want to take Justin Bieber for a month and just lock him up in a cage where we sit and make music. ![]() I’m a big ‘Goosebumps’ fan – ‘Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes.’ My favorites are the pick-your-own-death ones.
