Quotes by Kid Cudi

The world that I am coming from, hip-hop, is so regurgitated and repetitive that some people are used to that and they dont want change, they dont like change. And I get that, thats cool. Luckily for me, Im confident in myself as an artist where I can do what I want, and as long as Im cool with it, Im cool with it.

Once I accomplish one thing and Im satisfied, I try something else. I may be 50 and doing something totally outside of music and acting. Maybe Ill become a kindergarten teacher.

My background is not typical hip-hop. I didnt grow up in the projects. I grew up in a single family home in a middle-class suburb. That doesnt mean I didnt experience hardship, but to me its not about that, its about the future and where we are trying to take it.

My whole thing is just to put out positive messages in the music, give people something that can change their lives.

Im very close with my family, so my mom is part of my entourage.

My life is like a speeding bullet that just hasnt hit the target yet.

These things were happening in my life where I was like, Man, I wish my pops was here to see this. I never had those thoughts before fame, when my life was just a regular life. I wasnt saying, I wish my dad could be around and see me working at Applebees.
