“I hate when people have like alter egos. I'm the same person, but its different sides to me. I was raised to be a good person, but through my life I've seen, been around, and done a lot of shit. Some shit I'm not proud of, but no matter what I do or how crazy the environment is, I still have ME. I always feel like I have two sides pulling me all the time. Ima work in progress, though. I'm "trying" every day to be a better person than I was the day before. Trying to wise up and not be stuck in a certain mind state, you feel me? Focus on what's real. But, like I said, my music is me, my mind is kinda like a TV, constantly flippin' channels, but at the end of the day, it's the same TV you watchin', though. Some people say I'm cool, some people say I'm crazy. Who knows?” -Tink, 2014 Interview
