Quotes from Lil Dicky

Usually, I think of the song, and then the video plays out in my head as I'm writing the song. I started rapping to become a comedian, so I'm certainly thinking about the visual component of things beyond just the music most of the time.

'Ex-Boyfriend' is a really funny story that is that much funnier when you have visuals attached to it as opposed to just hearing it. I couldn't let a song like that go un-videoed.

A part of me wants to rely less and less on comedic visuals and make more substantial standalone music. And get a sitcom on TV where I can let my comedy do the talking there.

I have never been more physically tired than after that first song of my first concert.

Like, I haven't even tried a cherry before, because I'm such a picky eater, and I behave like a 9-year-old.

Because I feel like I can do so many different things, and people like my music for different reasons, I don't feel pigeonholed. I think people are always going to appreciate whatever direction I take.

I will be in a position where I can afford the Bugatti, but I most certainly won't be buying it.

Lil Wayne was one of my favorite rappers.

I think, between me and Chris Brown, if you combined our games, you'd get, like, a real Division I basketball player.

Growing up, the one thing I noticed was that everyone seemed to laugh at my jokes wherever I went.

People see a 'South Park' episode, and there's racially insensitive jokes - nobody bats an eye because they're expecting that in that context. In hip-hop, they don't expect that kind of thing because it's a white person in a predominantly black world.

I feel like the Philadelphia sports teams are really good at having my back.

My fears are never about failure - it's about extreme success.

Love is a fickle thing. But I still believe in it.

I don't necessarily think that when I graduated college, I had a plan to work at an ad agency. I had a plan in terms of getting the best job I could, like, just whatever normal job.

As a public figure, I'm always interested in being part of brands that I actually enjoy. So, I would never do something with somebody I don't believe in, a product I don't believe in. There are so many products out there that I love that I'd chomp at the bit to be a part of their campaign.

It's impressive to the girl that I'm texting that I have my own emojis. It adds to my charm as a man seeking love.

By putting this music out, I think I genuinely eliminated 80 percent of the previous jobs I was qualified for.

I was a business major at the University of Richmond, and after I graduated, I took a job at a corporate ad agency. I had comedic dreams, but I also had a realistic look at what I had to do when I left school: maybe I'm funny, but maybe I'm one of a hundred thousand funny people, you know?

I think everybody has their own inner rap spirit animal.

There just hasn't been a voice for that normal dude when it comes to rap.
