Quotes from Travis Scott

In my whole career, all I wanted was acceptance from Kid Cudi. I don't care about nothing else! This dude saved my life.

I felt like 'Owl Pharoah,' not everyone understood who I was as an artist.

I never produce a song, whether writing it or making a beat, and give it a wack visual or wack performance. I'm like a trifecta.

Money is something that keeps you alive and healthy and just keeps you focused. It's the drive. It's the passion.

I always hate when, like, my favorite performer has a boring moment. Especially when they got mad hits.

Drake is an amazing person. Also, a magician. He's a big brother, super-talent; he's cool.

I'm super nice - I just get excited!

Growing up in Houston, the music scene is super boring.

Me being in Houston, I wanted to leave there because it was only known for one thing. That's why I hit N.Y.; that's why I hit L.A. That's why I hit Paris, London. I just picked up basically everything, but I morphed it into what Travi$ Scott is and into what I know is fresh.

You've gotta motivate kids. They wanna grow up. They got problems. You've gotta give 'em that music to make 'em feel like they're OK, and it's only a couple of artists that do that.

With albums like 'Rodeo,' 'Days Before Rodeo' and 'Owl Pharaoh,' I was really tuned into wanting to get people to understand my conscious and who I was mentally and who I am mentally.

You can't buy swag.

I remember my mom bought me one of their shirts for Easter so that I could wear Helmut Lang for Easter. That was my first piece.

I'm just here for good times, man. I want people to have the best time ever. Especially if they're around me.

My mom used to work for Coach and Louis Vuitton, in retail. So, I've always been around it. I've always had that connection. Always.

I feel like more artists like me should be on the radio. Everything is, like, so controlled by, like, super popular music. You know what I'm saying? Like, c'mon.

I don't get why radio shows allow artists to do shows without creative control, without any art direction at all. Instead of that, I get their press guys, their camera guys to be my backdrop of my show.

Yes, money is important. But it's all about the creative process.

I'm always up for collaborating with brands and people who actually design, but doing your own line is a whole other beast. I don't think I could deal with the criticism.

Everybody just has different steps in their life that they take to do what they should.

There are people who take fashion at different levels, but personally, I'm just a kid with it.

I see hip-hop as going in a self-managing place. It's very culturally controlled and artist-controlled. It's not really based on a label anymore. Everything is pretty much in the control of the artist. Which is amazing.

I don't look at myself as a designer; I'm focused on music.

I have devoted myself to the Rockets.
