#i write

I write from my imagination, not from what I've read in books or seen on TV or to make money. I wrote from an idea I was passionate about. ↗

I can't control what people think. I'm not trying to manipulate people's thoughts or sentiments. I write all the time. You have to experience life, make observations, and ask questions. It's machine-like how things are run now in hip-hop, and my ambitions are different. ↗

When I write I'm never really thinking about themes or the universal. ↗

With any story I write, I could actually write it from three or four different perspectives, which would end with a completely different moral at the end. ↗

I am flying back to New York as I write this. I will never forget these wonderful 35 days and I would go back to Copenhagen in a heartbeat to work there again. ↗
