Vince Staples People Quotations

Basic emotions can be conveyed through anything. As long as you show people that you're human, they'll relate to it.

Some people lose sense of what their music was when their life starts to get better.

Some people make their best music when life is horrible.

What's important to me is people just being people.

At a very young age, I could look at people and tell that everyone was, in a sense, worthless in their own mind. And you couldn't trust anyone. No one was good.

I could care less about the radio or the TV or album sales. I want that connection with people because when I'm able to walk down the street, I want them to feel like I've done something for them and helped their life because I've never felt that way about a musician.

The best song is what resonates with that one person the most. It's why, if you ask a million people on the face of the Earth, they're all gonna have different favorite songs, their own best song ever, because that's the one that touched them the most.

I don't have a message. You already have all these people telling you how to live, who to be, what to wear, what to drive, what drugs to do - I just want people to see what I see.

School doesn't really teach you how to interact with people properly, you learn that outside of school.

One of my younger homies, he went to jail, and some people came to me and were like, "Bail him out," and I said no. Why would I bail him out? He's going to prison. Let him sit and get some time served. You want to be crazy, but you don't want to go to jail. You want to shoot people, but you don't want to kill people. That's such a misleading thing.

You have to be able to differentiate between the different areas of life. It shows that we're all separate people, we're all different, but we're all the same...
