I've always been into fashion since I was a kid. I love fashion. I appreciate it.
— Future
That's the time that I enjoy: away from the cameras, away from the audience, the scenery of going out to eat and everybody's staring at me.
Man, I love being a dad. It's super fun.
Every day, I bring out something new. You got to be prepared - you got to have a few outfits laying out for when you wake up, in case you want to change, to set the mood.
I want to be the most melodic artist. 'His music ability, the way he write, his creativity is undeniable.' I want people to say that about me.
I try to look cool. I strategize. Sometimes it's like - that's part of the strategizing, to make it seem like I don't think about it.
My music is like a diary. I use every experience.
I'm not for the publicity stunts. Leave my son out of the publicity stunts.
I just like being versatile, giving new styles and being creative.
Everybody can relate to being real or true. Somehow, someway, you want to be real and true.
If I'm the biggest artist in the world, cool, but I want to just be me.
I ain't giving up on myself, so if you give up on me, I ain't got nothing else to say for you.
You got one life to live. So I'm living it the way I want to live it.
It takes an astronaut so long to get to space - that's how long it takes to catch up on my music.
The weirdest place I ever actually woke up in was a villa on the beach in Mexico. It was burning hot, and there were all these crabs walking around me. But I was feeling good, so I went with the vibe.
The hardest part of fame and success is adapting to the people around you that's changing. It changes the way people look at you from how they used to look at you. They listen to you on the radio, they look at you on TV and when people speak on you in a good light, you have a couple people who hold grudges.
I just want to be an inspiration. I'm a rock star, I'm Future Hendrix.
It don't matter who I'm working with. I just feel like I want to make the best record possible.
I do everything for my family.
I want to give the music attention and be in the studio. I want to give all my attention to my music, my kids, my family, so I just wanna focus on certain things besides social media.
It's about being creative and drawing on who you are when you wake up, and expressing yourself through fashion.
Jimi Hendrix, he was a rock star. But he played guitar; I don't. I've just found ways to use words to make my mark in this history book.
My sister wants a Rollie. When I buy one now, I gotta buy like five, ten. It's crazy.
I have to go places beyond music.
All I know is record, record, record, record.
For me, it's always been one of my pet peeves to keep people engaged and talking, and just always being interested in what I have going on. To keep the level of creativity always turned up to the max.
I'm just not going to settle for anything, you know?
If I told a lie, then I got to come back and correct it years later. I hate that I have to be the person that touch on their life and be personal and be direct with certain situations, but man, I'm glad that it's me than them.
Just wanna have plaques on plaques. That's what we goin' for.
For just being a black artist in rock n' roll and be able to step outside and create, and make great music. And just be different. Just a different breed. And that's what I love about Jimi Hendrix's music - the way he plays the guitar is so different. He's just an icon all around.
I gotta have my long trench coats, a nice scarf for the winter time when you're walking around, and some nice fitted jeans to go with the trench coats.
I don't read blogs. I'm living the life they're writing about. So why read about it?
I've made a lot of mistakes in my life. I wouldn't say musically, though.
If you're doing what you think people might like, rather than doing what you like, people will see through it.
I feel like guys, girls, whatever it is, you just come out hoping to make the best record. You just try to have a conversation and just create what you've talked about. Whatever you find to fit the beat at the time, what the person is down for, wherever the beat takes you towards.
It's hard to get burned out or uninspired, man.
I'll always keep you guessing. I'm living up to the name. It's powerful. That's just what I do.
I want people to say, 'He evolved throughout his whole career.' I wanna be able to have the most number one records ever. The most Top 10 records ever.
I'm not just a hip-hop artist; I feel like I'm a rock star.
I'm the top rapper in the world.
You gotta catch the sauce. Move with me... I'm dripping sauce.
You know that I can make hits. You know I can do all these rap records.
Just understand that the type of music that I make is something special.
I want my money to be different. I'm not trying to have rapper money. My goal is to be able to get everything from the world that I can get.
I feel a responsibility for telling the truth.
Rumours are rumours. The Internet is going to report whatever they have to speculate on.
When you grow up in something, you don't even know if it's bad or good. You just know that's how it is.
I like to express myself through the clothes that I wear.
At first, Hendrix went and became a superstar in London, but if he walked past the Apollo in Harlem, no one would know who he was. I'm the hip-hop version of him.
Every mistake you make allows you to be honest because what's in the dark will come to light, so it's better to be truthful about it.
