Tyler, The Creator

I think, if I had a dad, I would have went the normal college route. I'm so stoked my life panned out how it was.

Humans have voids, and you need things to fill voids... I didn't have a dad to fill that male model void, so when I heard Eminem or freaking seen Dave Chapelle, that's what I gravitated to.

Somebody called me a homophobe. I'm not homophobic.

I wasn't shy, but I was really hyper. Nobody got my sense of humor. I was a black skater kid.

My lyrics aren't offensive. Some people find everything offensive.

To me, Sid Vicious is cool. Super chill.

I'm hungry for VMAs and Grammys. That's my main goal.

Hawthorne sucks... It's a crazy place, and I'm happy that I was the weird one that got out.

I never had a drink in my life. I don't smoke or anything.

I'm like a big 10-year-old when I'm on stage. I just go up there and do whatever I think is cool at the moment.

I'm not into fashion, but I like design. I wear the same shoes every day.

I'm a big 'Goosebumps' fan - 'Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes.' My favorites are the pick-your-own-death ones.

I want to do films and have my name mentioned next to Wes Anderson and Quentin Tarantino. I don't want my name mentioned next to other rappers at all.

I don't really listen to rap; I just like to rap.

Rap is really just too conventional. Everybody does the same thing. No one ever pushes the box.

I really want to sing, but my tone of voice is really too deep to do what I want.

Usually, when I'm rappin', I'm creating a big story or a concept song that sounds like a movie to me.

I want to design jewelry for girls and guys... I'ma spread it out, but I'ma design, probably when I'm just designing furniture and buildings, I'll probably being the jewelry thing, too.

I like my raps, but I'm never too happy with some of 'em because I feel like they could be better.

I'm not hip-hop. I'm Tyler.

If the world was ending, I think I would grab some Cinnamon Toast Crunch, a bunch of water, and I'd probably just... I'd probably go crazy.

I think I'm cool. That's all that matters.

For the record, I don't worship the devil. I just hate religion.

I don't like people around me sad. I like making people happy.

I'm not a follower. I'm a leader. And anyone who speaks their mind is always criticised.
