Future
I like all types of women. I accept them as they are when they come into my life... But I'm not a romantic. I'm just up-front. I like to be a part of something real, not make-believe. I tell women to tell me the truth, to just lay it out. Let me be the judge and decide if I want you around or not. Let me have my choice.Collection: Women
My obsession with outer space is my way of being different. I make astronaut music. It takes an astronaut so long to get to space - that's how long it takes to catch up on my music.Collection: Music
Jupiter, Pluto, pick a planet: we can go there. I just got a bit more work to do in the music industry, and we're going to space, baby.Collection: Music
For me, it's always been one of my pet peeves to keep people engaged and talking, and just always being interested in what I have going on. To keep the level of creativity always turned up to the max.Collection: Pet
I want my money to be different. I'm not trying to have rapper money. My goal is to be able to get everything from the world that I can get.Collection: Money
I feel a responsibility for telling the truth.Collection: Truth
Don't ask for a million dollars. Ask for the stuff that'll get you a million dollars - your health, your brain, your sanity, wisdom. Prepare me for when I do get that million. Make sure I don't go crazy, make sure I help my family.Collection: Health
My music is like a diary. I use every experience.Collection: Experience
I ain't giving up on myself, so if you give up on me, I ain't got nothing else to say for you.
You want to create your own path, no matter what situation you're in.
You got one life to live. So I'm living it the way I want to live it.
I know I haven't always done things the right way. I'm just trying to reflect on how to make myself better, how to become a better man, a better father, a better person, a better artist.
I'm just really a free spirit. You gotta be like that. 'Cause life ain't that complicated. It's only that complicated when you make it that way. I just wanna wake up and move with the way it goes. If it's meant to happen, it will happen.
I'll always keep you guessing. I'm living up to the name. It's powerful. That's just what I do.
Everybody can relate to being real or true. Somehow, someway, you want to be real and true.
You gotta catch the sauce. Move with me... I'm dripping sauce.
Every mistake you make allows you to be honest because what's in the dark will come to light, so it's better to be truthful about it.
At the end of the day, I'm out of here - above anything.
I've made a lot of mistakes in my life. I wouldn't say musically, though.
I'm always a fan of good business moves.
You got to make the most of your second life. I was born Nayvadius, but now I'm Future. Should I dwell on what Nayvadius was supposed to be? I get a chance to experience life as something else. I wasn't supposed to be like this.
Quality is everything to me, and I perfect everything I do.
Don't matter if you're rich, poor or whatever, you just want to be able to have your own experiences in life and listen and learn from other people.
I'm putting everything on the line in being able to express myself in a different way than rappers normally do. They might say, 'It's rap' or 'It's R&B,' but I'm stepping outside the box and making music for me and making music for the fans to understand me. I'm going the extra distance to be able to come across different.
I want to show my versatility and how diverse I am, how I approach the track, my rhythm, my melodies. It's something different. Sometimes, the things I do haven't ever been done.
I've always been into fashion since I was a kid. I love fashion. I appreciate it. I just enjoy dressing up and getting all the new sneakers and all the hot exclusive clothes - I did even when I was young.
My daddy didn't even sign my birth certificate. So I ain't never had his last name.
If you behind me, I'm not going to look back and try and figure out what you're doing behind me.
The hardest part of fame and success is adapting to the people around you that's changing. It changes the way people look at you from how they used to look at you. They listen to you on the radio, they look at you on TV and when people speak on you in a good light, you have a couple people who hold grudges.
Man, I wanna be there for everybody. I wanna make everybody happy, and I can't... That's why I stay in the studio.
You don't question magic.
I just want to be an inspiration. I'm a rock star, I'm Future Hendrix.
My career choice is my career choice. Just stepping out of that zone, to be able to be a provider. I understand my position as a provider and my role as a dad also... Just being able to be comfortable with it.
I try to look cool. I strategize. Sometimes it's like - that's part of the strategizing, to make it seem like I don't think about it.
I want to keep doing what I'm doing and see how far I can go. See when it stops. See what the end is like. I want to make this moment last as long as I can make it. If I miss a day, I'm afraid I'll miss out on a smash record.
If you're doing what you think people might like, rather than doing what you like, people will see through it.
I just like being versatile, giving new styles and being creative.
I want to be the most melodic artist. 'His music ability, the way he write, his creativity is undeniable.' I want people to say that about me.
I'm just not going to settle for anything, you know?
I want people to say, 'He evolved throughout his whole career.' I wanna be able to have the most number one records ever. The most Top 10 records ever.
Rumours are rumours. The Internet is going to report whatever they have to speculate on.
I like to express myself through the clothes that I wear.
Jay Z wasn't great when 2pac and Biggie was alive.
When I'm in the studio, I stay in the studio, like, sometimes 20 hours out the day.
I have to go places beyond music.
Future's not everybody. The people who are taking my style are like my babies. I've got a tribe of kids that want to be like me... But I understand why people want to imitate the things I do. They're dope. It comes naturally to me. My fans can expect greatness. If I wasn't me, I would want to be me.
It takes compromise to raise a child, especially with a schedule like mine.
I'm most comfortable when I'm in the studio and music playing.
I feel like I just wanna go back to being more underground.
That's that Dungeon Family ethos: being able to reinvent yourself, stand out and stand alone. Having your own character and having your own image, no matter what they say about you. I want to show my versatility and how diverse I am, how I approach the track, my rhythm, my melodies. It's something different.
