Future: "You got one life to live. So I'm living it the way I want to live it."

Future: “I’m just really a free spirit. You gotta be like that. ‘Cause life ain’t that complicated. It’s only that complicated when you make it that way. I just wanna wake up and move with the way it goes. If it’s meant to happen, it will happen.”

Future: "Quality is everything to me, and I perfect everything I do."

Future: “I gotta have my long trench coats, a nice scarf for the wintertime when you’re walking around, and some nice fitted jeans to go with the trench coats.”

Future: "You want to create your own path, no matter what situation you're in."

Future: "I like all types of women. I accept them as they are when they come into my life... But I'm not a romantic. I'm just up-front. I like to be a part of something real, not make-believe. I tell women to tell me the truth, to just lay it out. Let me be the judge and decide if I want you around or not. Let me have my choice."

Future: “If you’re doing what you think people might like, rather than doing what you like, people will see through it.”

Future: "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."

Future: “I don’t just write hits for myself, or for other artists, or to just be writing it. I write it because I was born to do this.”

Future: "Don't ask for a million dollars. Ask for the stuff that'll get you a million dollars - your health, your brain, your sanity, wisdom. Prepare me for when I do get that million. Make sure I don't go crazy, make sure I help my family."

Future: “My obsession with outer space is my way of being different. I make astronaut music. It takes an astronaut so long to get to space – that’s how long it takes to catch up on my music.”

Future: "You don't question magic."

Future: “Rihanna takes risks, and I love a woman who takes risks. It just goes to show you have your own mind and your own way of thinking.”

Future: “I take a little bit from everybody and add that to my life to make me, me. I wanna be nobody else but Future. When you look at me, I want you to say, ‘Future.’ The way I talk, the way I dress, there’s nobody in the world but me.”

Future: "I feel a responsibility for telling the truth."

Future: "I'll always keep you guessing. I'm living up to the name. It's powerful. That's just what I do."

Future: "All gigs are good gigs. There's never a bad one. Everything have a reason behind it; you just got to find that reason."

Future: “I love fashion. I appreciate it. I just enjoy dressing up and getting all the new sneakers and all the hot exclusive clothes – I did even when I was young.”

Future: “I like to express myself through the clothes that I wear.”

Future: “You get inspiration from craziest places. It’s just about being creative. You gotta step outside that box, you know what I’m saying, to reach the people. You never know who can feel it; who it can connect to.”

Future: “I’m always most comfortable in the studio. It’s my comfort zone. I love being there, and I love making records.”

Future: "At the end of the day, I'm out of here - above anything."

Future: "I was probably 15 when I started going to the studio with the older cats in my neighborhood. They heard me rap outside one time; I was just freestyling. And they invited me to the studio. It's good when you're accepted, no matter what crowd. That's the first step of believing you can do whatever you feel like putting your mind to."

Future: "Everybody can relate to being real or true. Somehow, someway, you want to be real and true."

Future: "Don't matter if you're rich, poor or whatever, you just want to be able to have your own experiences in life and listen and learn from other people."

Future: "You gotta catch the sauce. Move with me... I'm dripping sauce."

Future: "I know I haven't always done things the right way. I'm just trying to reflect on how to make myself better, how to become a better man, a better father, a better person, a better artist."

Future: “My favorite rappers are, I can’t really say. I like Kanye because he’s so creative. He’ll just do anything. I like what Kanye’s bringing to the game. Lil Wayne. I like Wayne.”

Future: "I ain't giving up on myself, so if you give up on me, I ain't got nothing else to say for you."

Future: “I wouldn’t say I’m underrated but more reserved. Only time will tell, but I’ve been good so far in being consistent and making hit after hit writing for myself and other artists, from rap to R&B, and being able to make those different records.”

Future: “I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life. I wouldn’t say musically, though.”

Future: “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.”

Future: “I was drawn to love songs, but I was just drawn to great music – no matter if it’s hip-hop, pop, R&B, or whether it’s rock n’ roll or country. It could be a Garth Brooks song, and if it’s a smash, then I’ll love the different wordplay and different melodies. That’s what I’m a fan of – great music.”

Future: “My favorite designer has to be Louis Vuitton.”

Future: “I know I haven’t always done things the right way. I’m just trying to reflect on how to make myself better, how to become a better man, a better father, a better person, a better artist.”

Future: “I can’t leave home without certain movies. ‘The Godfather’ is a big one for me. And I’ve gotta have my beats so I can write new music.”

Future: “I feel like guitar explains a lot. You can just listen to a guitar without any lyrics over it; you can just feel what kind of track it is. If it’s pain… you can feel it. It sets the mood.”
