I set my career up for longevity and I’m gonna have longevity.

Juice Wrld Interview
Stuff does happen. People are sick in the head. But people take advantage of that, and then they mix that with destroying black careers and destroying black excellence.
Some artists not only have good music but good personalities as well. I don’t wanna brag on myself, but people have told me that my personality matches my music – as in it has quality, as in it’s genuine and it’s real. With me, people don’t have to separate the art from the artist. Knock on wood.
The rap game now – I’m sorry to say it – but it’s so motherfucking soft. You can’t do anything without someone being offended nowadays. When did we become so soft?
I love performing in stadiums. I love it. There’s nothing like it. When it’s a full house and everybody’s having a good time and vibing? It’s fun – it’s lit. I don’t gotta jump around as much, either. I used to wear myself out after every concert, crawling backstage almost.
I don’t just [make emotional music] for myself. I do it to help other people through their situations. I guess I supposedly save lives. People tell me all the time that I save their lives. All the time, brother.
Everyone knows someone who does stuff that isn’t healthy for them. But imagine how much of a fuck you don’t give to do that, to drink that, to pop that.
I bounced between two houses – I didn’t live [with my Dad] but I got a copy of them keys – and growing up was pretty easy.
Don’t get me wrong – they broke all types of people. Charlie Sheen was strung out on all types of stuff. Shia Labeouf. But Michael Jackson was so talented, hardworking. He changed the world with his music. Literally. Once, when I was performing, I looked out in the crowd and there was this couple cr…
That song is so much more expensive than money and what money can buy. It’s so much more touching than what money could touch. That song really saved lives. And people are sitting here telling me, ‘Blah blah blah, 90% this, 90% that.’ They bogus fucks. No, bro. Without Sting, this wouldn’t even be a…
I’m an old soul.
[Drugs] can ruin your whole life. If they don’t kill you, they can leave you in a trance for the rest of your life. Most fucking rappers rap about getting high and feeling great. But I talk about the good side and the bad side. Just to shed some light on the negative side.
Money is gonna come regardless. If you doin’ this for money, people gonna be able to tell. For me [it’s more important that] Sting said my music is beautiful, the fact that he performed my version of the song.
As far as Michael Jackson goes, I look at it like this – he has kids, right? He had a career. Why would he do that stuff? It’s kinda the same thing as Bill Cosby – they only wanted to stop him from getting a TV network like Oprah. We should let legends rest, if you don’t have evidence that he did wh…
Our heads is so imperfect, we drown ourselves in this imperfection. We don’t know what imperfection is. We only know how to spell it; we don’t know how it feels.
That’s what makes you a real man, though. You not running from how you feel? That’s what makes you one of the realest people to walk this Earth. People usually look down upon that – they say you soft. A lot of men make fun of you for expressing your feelings, because they don’t get it. They can’t wr…
Everybody has their mistakes. A mistake is a mistake. Some are more severe than others, but we’re no one to judge the severity of someone’s mistake. As long as we doin’ wrong, as long as we sinnin’, you can’t judge nobody else’s mistakes.
The people I looked up to put their demons out there. They provided a path for me to walk on.
