I have Nineties music oozing out of my pores. What made rock & roll back then is that it was uncensored. It was raw and dark. Think of 'Something in the Way,' by Nirvana - he was telling everyone how he felt.

I don't want my daughter to grow up and feel like she has to try that hard to get people to accept her.

As I was coming up, there was so much naysaying, there was so much doubt, whether it was from my peers or people in the industry.

When I was running away, I didn't have somebody there to help me run away. All I had was DMX's voice or Eminem's voice or Tupac's voice.

I was a huge punker growing up.

I'm a kid from Ohio in an industry that drives people insane.

Fame is the weirdest thing ever.

I've become so much more comfortable divulging things I've never talked about before, honing in on certain relationships that everyone can relate to.

I was really excited about 'Nerve' with Dave Franco and Emma Roberts.

I think I've watched and been around so many people that are of a high celebrity grade that I've attempted to soak in every kind of way to deal with fame.

I want to keep the whole 'Lace Up' movement going. I want to take it national and international with a machine, a label.

They always say if you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere, but I say that about Cleveland.

I'm not that great of a speaker. I don't like watching my own interviews. I think I suck at talking, but one thing I can do is move my pen, and if that's how I gotta speak to my daughter, then let me do that.

I love surrealism.

I would never think twice about marching next to my brother for an issue we both believe in.

I just keep getting inspired to believe that dreams come true and anything can happen, 'cause I've watched so many impossible things happen.

I've never been a bandwagon Clevelander. I've been talking about Cleveland and holding up Cleveland since before we were champions.

Every time I perform, I always try to have that 'wow' factor.

I recognize fans at every show.

I'm fortunate to have a baby girl who's super into everything that I say and do and really cooperative and just fun to be around. I couldn't imagine having a rebellious kid like me.

It seems like I'm one of those people that has the personality where, if I win an award, I wake up the next day, and I'm like 'Oh, but I didn't win this award though, or this didn't happen.'

Not everyone wants to be in misery in every song!

New life situations equal out to new kinds of songs.

Economics runs the world.

It's crazy. Even doing that one episode of 'Catfish,' I get people recognizing me for it who didn't even know my music.

My time on 'Roadies' gave me serenity and space.

Cleveland, Ohio, is the real deal.

I write all my hooks.

I'm probably one of the wildest, most out-of-control people in the industry.

I've had more life experiences than most people that are older than me.

My executive board, my management, my friends, are so ethnically diverse.

Is there someone who can play guitar better than me technically? One hundred percent. But does anyone look better playing a guitar in my generation? Absolutely not.

Hip-hop influences my talent, but I think that punk and everything else I listened to growing up was who my idols were.

I don't want to feel like the cool kid in the crowd who doesn't want to do what the artist's saying. I want to be so in awe of the artist that I'm literally jumping up and down, even if I've got on brand new Louboutins.

Before I even started listening to rap music, I was really into metal and punk.

Every time I've partnered with WWE, we've managed to pull off something extraordinary, but to be a part of the Tribute to the Troops special is definitely the highlight.

It's awesome to have a brand like Reebok support what you stand for as well as your creative vision, and I'm excited to show you what a Reebok and Machine Gun Kelly collaboration is all about.

I've always been a fan of the Club C sneaker because it's super clean and timeless. It's one of those kicks that's been in the street scene forever - more than 30 years.

I'm here to make an impact on the kids who truly care.

It's an honor to step onstage and celebrate the service and sacrifices of our soldiers.

I respect all grandpas around the world doin' it big.

I think me and Macklemore exist in two different worlds.

You can't tell my fans that there's a better rapper than Machine Gun Kelly... Hands down, there's no way I'm not in the top five.

I'd say I did a lot of what I did with songs like 'At My Best' was because of the influence of my daughter.

I'm not just a great white rapper. I'm a great rapper.

I don't believe in hopping from one social issue to the next to be a part of the movement for a moment. Anything I'm involved in is something that I would die for. I can't support things that don't feel genuine.

I knew so many people were coming up to me because they knew who I was, not because they were fans of my music. That bothered me because I don't want to be a celebrity; I want to be an artist.

I feel like a celebrity is someone who sits and takes pictures with people 'cause they love themselves and how they look and how people look at them. But I just want to be regular and respected for my artistry because music doesn't necessarily have a face.

I'm a storyteller.

There's something about America's sweetheart and America's bad boy. That juxtaposition is what everyone desires.
