Quotes from ASAP Rocky

If a chick wants to know who makes my shoes, she's got to take them off my feet and look inside.

There was a time when someone would get on a plane and request to move their seat just because the person sitting next to them was of a different ethnicity or religion or nationality. But I don't think my generation wants that. That's how it used to be.

I treat everybody equal, and so I want to be sure that my listeners and my followers do the same if they're gonna represent me. And if I'm gonna represent them, then I also want to do it in a good way.

I've got so much in my brain and I want to change the way we think sometimes.

There's just so much out there and so much inspiration... I just want to be tasteful.

I wanted to model when I was younger.

I'm here to break boundaries, man. That's all. I'm here to be the first so that the people after me don't have to think twice about expressing themselves and being free.

With clothes, I like mixing what different designers do until it becomes a personal expression of how I'm feeling that day.

Design my own line? No, I just like the culture.

I like women. I love women.

Who people like is their own business. It don't concern me. I know what I do - and I'm having a lot of fun with the women that I'm with.

It would be disrespectful to take my stardom and bully my way into the fashion industry.

I feel like everything I do in the hip-hop world has an influence. People don't really notice what I did until somebody else does it. As far as hip-hop goes, I want to continue to make good music, and good art. I don't really follow the state of hip-hop.

For instance, one big issue in hip hop is the gay thing. It's 2013, and it's a shame that, to this day, that topic still gets people all excited. It's crazy.

I'm going to be a fashion icon in a minute. I'm not going to do it in a corny manner. I have a voice that speaks for a whole other market - not just black people, but high fashion urban people. I mix street wear with high fashion. It's never been seen before.

I used to be homophobic, but as I got older, I realized that wasn't the way to do things. I don't discriminate against anybody for their sexual preference, for their skin color... that's immature.

Purple lipstick? Naw, that looks stupid on all girls!

I don't like new cars; I'm into vintage cars - there's a Jaguar E-Type in the 'Goldie' video.

I love 'Robot Chicken,' 'The Boondocks' and 'America's Funniest Home Videos.' Then there's this show called 'The First 48.' It's a documentary about killings where they try and find murderers. They interrogate people and they tell on each other - it's hilarious.
