More quotes by ASAP Rocky
Ksubi' - the Australian jean brand, they're one of my favourite brands of just clothes and stuff, and the Swedish brand 'Acne', but other than that, not at this point in time designing. I wouldn't mind collab'n with those guys though.

So for me, fashion was about standing out as an individual - and it helped me get the attention that most people try to get with publicity stunts or by doing other crazy things. But I just let the attention come to me naturally, and I think some of that has to do with my fashion.
ASAP Rocky
For me, growing up in Harlem and then migrating down to SoHo and the Lower East Side and chillin' down there and making that my stomping ground... That was a big thing, because I'm from Harlem, and downtown is more artsy and also more open-minded. So I got the best of both worlds.
ASAP Rocky
I've got so much in my brain and I want to change the way we think sometimes.
ASAP Rocky
I'm getting my respect as a video director. The fashion industry respects me and knows who I am.
ASAP Rocky
All of the young people - the artsy people, people who get overlooked because they're weird or they don't have hype around them - need to get some shine.
ASAP Rocky
Why can't I be friends with somebody who's gay? Why not? You can miss out on a lot by being so small-minded and stereotypical about people. It's stupid.
ASAP Rocky
You wouldn't take me to be a Skrillex fan, but honestly, when I'm at his shows, I get high and liquored up, and I just go in the crowd and start raving.
ASAP Rocky
I like women. I love women.
ASAP Rocky
I don't even like New York rappers.
ASAP Rocky
I don't like new cars I'm into vintage cars - there's a Jaguar E-Type in the 'Goldie' video.
ASAP Rocky
I used to be homophobic, but as I got older, I realized that wasn't the way to do things. I don't discriminate against anybody for their sexual preference, for their skin color... that's immature.
ASAP Rocky
I was thinking about naming my child Kanye.
ASAP Rocky
It would be disrespectful to take my stardom and bully my way into the fashion industry.
ASAP Rocky
I want to be the first guy to help people accept everybody for who they are. I'm talking about colors, religions, sex, everybody. My music is for everybody, it's not just for one kind of group.
ASAP Rocky
Fashion is almost like a religion, for me at least.
ASAP Rocky
New York gave me hell for that 'Purple Swag,' man. They didn't respect me until 'Peso.'
ASAP Rocky
[I want to be] Something that really touched you - and as far as image and change goes, I just really want a lot of people to respect my music and treat me... [as] inspiration.
ASAP Rocky
There's just so much out there and so much inspiration... I just want to be tasteful.
ASAP Rocky
I hate the hype. When 50 Cent came out, people were saying that he was the best rapper alive: Oh, he got shot nine times, he's better than Tupac, he's better than Biggie. That was all hype.
