Highlights:
- "People accept me now because I have power, but they still think, Oh, he thinks he’s the golden flower of the black community, thinks he’s so different. But I am, though! I feel like Jesus. I do feel chosen. My struggle is to use my humanity to create a classic work - but I don’t know if humanity is worth it, or if we’re going to make it. I don’t know if there’s much time left."
- "I went to school with white people who had less talent than me - because I’m talented as fuck - and they’re doing way better than me. I went to N.Y.U. with Lady Gaga."
- "Chris Rock told me, ‘Man, they wouldn’t have let me make your show back in the day.’ I’m a little better than Chris, because I had Chris to study."
