#05m02s: I might make an album of all dolphin noises.
#06m46s: I'm completely just an ignorant, like, big artist and stuff. And I admit to that. You know artists try and pretend like they're all cool and down and stuff? I'm just so not down.
#11m25s: I don't wanna f*cking be Christ-like. I wanna be ME-like. I wanna be the best ME. 'Cause you're gonna fall short of being Christ-like, and then you'll never quite be happy.
#14m01s: I like to get all metaphorical about everything I do.
#26m09s: ["A suggestion to all venomous people"]
#29m35s: [Mad ignorant -ish about Obama]

So now it's time, we got like Christopher Kane in, somebody that's like really-really young and dope and maybe can turn this brand around.
