Thug: "I'm the type of person to put myself in everybody else's shoes."

Thug: "I never write. Never! I do not even remember if I can write… This is a true freestyle in general. I put a beat, I said some stuff, I retain ideas, I do it again, with a particular intonation, I test, and especially I record live."

Thug: "I've always been a sharing person."

Thug: "If you feel that you can just come in the studio and freestyle on my song, then I'm ready to rap battle you. That's just how I feel about it because I know I'm way harder than another rapper freestyling on my song."

Thug: "I want every Grammy."

Thug: "I don't ever want to be like a peasant. I want to always be all right. But motivation is fans - not your kids, your mum, none of that. All of that matters, but number one is your fans."

Thug: "Ninety percent of my clothes are women's."

Thug: "All those who came out of my neighborhood before me. Beyond those you see on TV, the most important people are those who are close to you because they share the same reality."

Thug: "I must have in stock 3000 songs you've never heard."

Thug: "I didn't used to do shows, because I used to be so shy. We'd perform, and I'd be at the back, thinking of another song. I was so shy, I ain't never getting in front of the camera; I would never get on stage."

Thug: "I always knew I could rap, and in a sense I always rapped. And I've always behaved like a rapper."

Thug: "When you see them be successful, however small, you say to yourself, wow. And everything becomes possible. Never denigrate, to say we will not succeed."

Thug: "I feel like there's no such thing as gender."

Thug: "I like everything that people say. No matter what they say. You gay, you a punk. You got a nice girlfriend, you're ugly, you can't rap, you're the hardest."

Thug: "I do not always listen again but if something strikes me, I exploit it."

Thug: "I repeat it until it works. It is important to record, otherwise you lose ideas. That's why I never stay away from the studio, I always have something to ask."

Thug: "In my world, of course, it don't matter. You could be a gangster with a dress, you could be a gangster with baggy pants."

Thug: "You must not you worry about leaks or pieces stolen on your computer. You just make songs, you gotta make music, keep stuff out. You may not know rap, but that's how it works."

Thug: "For a long time I heard rap without paying attention, but it is still a way of life, even when you're a kid."

Thug: "This is the industry that wants music, the rap industry. You have to be on deck all the time, but you do not have the time to do the album. It is an energy, it must be present in everyday life."

Thug: "I am not versed in production software. I have basic knowledge, but it ends there."

Thug: "Atlanta is the number one place to live. You live better, you eat better, the rides are better, vehicles is better deals. It's better people. More mean people, but at my level you want it to be about business, so it's perfect for me."

Thug: "I know, every time I get somewhere, it'll be strange. But if I understand correctly, I also have fans here and it reassures me."

Thug: "Whatever I think of, that's what I do. I wake up and think, 'I want to buy a car', I buy a car. I wake up and be like, 'I just want to lay in bed with my girl', I do that. I wake up and want to rap, I rap. So whatever I think of."

Thug: "I know that everybody listens to me, but only my true fans will go and buy my album."
