I think the audience is getting it right, you know what I mean? And that's kind of rare when the artist feels like their audience understand them. But I feel like people are understanding exactly what I'm going for. And that's awesome.

I, for one, am, like, the most ordinary person. Like, people look past me all the time because I'm just so blending in.

Everybody in Odd Future is their own artist - they have their own friends and their own ideas for things - so we all spent quite a lot of time separated.

I have stopped going out places just to avoid uncomfortable conversations.

I think my first client other than my brother was this kid named Tallent. I was charging him eight dollars an hour to record in my room. He kept coming back, then I went up to ten dollars an hour.

I've written songs about women since I've been involved with women, but I do know a few gay female artists who, back in the day, would write songs about men.

I feel like once you go with a band, it's hard to go back. I just don't see myself performing without a band.

My mom wasn't expecting me to end up how I ended up. When she wanted to have kids, she wanted to have two girls, and then she got my brother and me. Which is a disappointment to anybody. You can't help it.

Once we got signed, I moved out of my house because I was having teenage issues with my mom. It really wasn't my fault, looking back. You know, I'm gay; it's weird. It was one of the things. She has no problem with me being gay, but she had a problem with me dressing the way I do at first.

As far as open conversations with random people, no I don't really enjoy them.

When I was 14 and I wanted to buy stuff, I didn't like asking for stuff from my parents, so I started a couple companies, and the last one ended up being my studio.

I've realised that I actually like being by myself.
