The way that I learned to be confident was I would ride the back of the city bus and sing very low.
— Tory Lanez
Hip-hop is a contact sport.
I'm like one of those dudes who organically have talent.
I just want to work with the big people and the people who make great music.
People who couldn't walk, they'd come in wheelchairs, and he'd make them walk. It's just the power of God. It wasn't my dad; it's what God had instructed my dad to do.
There's no album in 2016 that's better than my album.
I was being very bad because I didn't know how to express myself. Music gave me an outlet to express myself and channel that anger.
We just want to be No. 1. Is there a problem with that? Can I be the best? Can y'all watch me be great? Will y'all allow me to do that?
Usher is definitely somebody I came up listening to.
The stars played out the way they were supposed to play out, and I'm in the position I'm supposed to be in.
I'm here to compete. I'm here to be number one.
I underestimated the power of 'Diego.'
I started singing to this one John Legend record; it was called 'Each Day Gets Better,' or something like that. I started to realize, 'Wow, I really sound like this dude. If I keep doing this, maybe I can sound dope like John Legend and still rap.'
I know why I'm here. I know why I was placed in music, and it's not by coincidence.
I do a lot of writing. People don't actually know how much writing really I do.
I definitely want to work with Kanye, Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande - all the big people.
I can look at you and say, 'I'm gonna be the biggest artist in the world' because, at the end of the day, it's about the trust I have in God. He's already shown me that I'm gonna fulfil my destiny.
I'm a very cultural person, and Canada is a very cultural place.
My mom died when I was 11 years old.
I go through the same kind of situations as other people. I have to give that to people, because people have this facade, this mirage, this mirror about me.
One of my favorite reggae songs is Wayne Wonder's 'No Letting Go.' And Sizzla 'Give Me A Try.' That's one of my favorite songs as well.
What, do you think I'm here to be second place, brother?
I think people have to look at it from a certain view. I say things because, at the end of the day, I can say whatever I want.
To be selling out shows and these kids who don't speak English singing along every word? It's wild.
Singing is one of the most important components to me. That's kinda how it all started.
When the 'greats of all-time' put out their first albums, it wasn't a thousand features on it. And I'm one of the greats in my eyes.
I still direct my own videos.
I'm a fan of LeBron James. I'm not really a team fan; I'm just a fan of one player.
If you try to be better every day, more miracles happen in your life.
Every time I do something in life, I try to outdo myself.
People have to remember this - I've literally been going at this music thing since my mother passed away.
Drake could diss me 20,000 times, and I would never diss him. I'm a fan.
I'm a big Justin Bieber fan. I've been a Justin Bieber fan. I've been listening to his music. OG, you know. That's also my friend, too, so, you know. It's just one of those things. We've been supporting each other's music for a long, long, long time.
I'm here to be the greatest.
My outlook was, 'You're not my moms; you can't tell me what to do.' I got expelled from about 20 schools.
Me personally, I don't think I'm even hot enough to be getting dissed.
