I don't travel anywhere without the PS3 and XBox. There's nothing better to do on long bus trips while on tour.

I was one of the first artists to have a YouTube account, if not the first. I joined two months after the site launched.

I'm headed towards greatness. I think I'm making history in hip-hop.

If I'm doing something its coming from a kind heart.

If I'm going to make music for the streets or the clubs or whatever, I go at it with 110 percent.

People in the media, it makes their day when someone they say is a five-star artist goes platinum.

When I was 10 years old my mom used to play Tupac while she cleaned the house.

Words are powerful. When I make mistakes I just try to come back and clarify what I meant.

I hate it when people come up to me on trains and ask 'Are you Soulja Boy?' If people want pictures or autographs, that's cool, but I don't like the dumb questions.

I think swag is very important to rappers. It's the overall appearance and style of an artist - these blue shorts and this blue hat and this $80,000 chain, this jewelry and all these tattoos, that's swag.

My first single I was nominated for a Grammy with 'Crank That,' and I lost a Grammy to Kanye West, but it was still such a big deal for me to be nominated anyway.

Now that I'm in the position I'm in now, I like to take all my creative ideas and put 'em on the Internet for my fans to interact with. Give 'em something to do.

Soulja Boy is on his dance, down south, young, 18-year-old, comedic swag. It's really just each person's personality; if every rapper had the same swag, it would be kind of boring.

Swag defines an artist, period. Lil Wayne has his super-tattooed pierces and dreads swag. Jay-Z has his New York, grown man, Beyonce and 40/40 Club swag.

When I was in Japan on tour in 2010, I felt like I was 30 years into the future. I love technology and they are so advanced with their phones, computers, everything. I think they had the iPhone way before we did in the U.S. I love gadgets, games, social media and I try to stay ahead on all that stuff, but they get it all first.
