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. Wherever my curiosity takes me, I follow. I have fun, and people take it the wrong way. You gotta keep things fun…Laughing is really important to your health, believe it or not, so I guess I just always try to have fun and keep the energy alive. Youth is something I never wanna take for granted. 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. 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 be the jewelry thing, too. Hawthorne sucks… It’s a crazy place, and I’m happy that I was the weird one that got out. So it’s just weird if someone says they don’t like it.

I tweet early in the morning when I wake up or late at night just to let you know that I have a show or what’s on my mind, and that’s it. I just make music, you know? – Tyler, The Creator

Don’t wear what I wear ’cause I wear it wear what you like. 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. I don’t have a therapist, so I use myself as my own therapist when I’m making the music.
