Simon Cowell and I are great friends and we wind each other up. Rod Stewart and I do the same thing.

When I talk to kids, I'm really listening. When I do that, we have a little bit of a bigger connection than me being Kendrick Lamar and you being a student. It's almost like we're friends. Because a friend listens.

I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.

There's not an instruction manual on how to deal with success, so you just have to rely on having great friends and a good team.

The realest people don't have a lot of friends.

I was letting people dictate who should be my friends. I felt like I couldn't be friends with Madonna. And so I dissed her, even though she showed me nothing but love. I felt bad because when I went to jail, I called her and she was the only person that was willing to help me.
