I think, on the rap side of life, I've always been inspired by and respected Missy Elliott for a long time. She's funny and created an image for herself that was non-sexualized but was really interesting and really cool and really kind of avant-garde in a lot of ways.

A lot of people don't even listen to albums start to finish, but I do - for sure.

When I was growing up, I wasn't in bands, and had really no intention of ever doing music.
