On why he surrounds himself with women—including his two assistants, art director, and choreographer:  “I am a sensitive person, so I want to be with sensitive people.  Women have a way of expressing themselves that I can relate to more honestly.”

On his discontent over a recent T.I. record: “They did that record hoping for radio play, and they got nothing out of it.… Great, you got your No. 1 hip-hop song. But what does that do for your sales?” 

On not caring about appealing to the masses: “You want to be camouflage? Go ahead. Blend in. But we want to be that twinkle in the sky. And you might not be able to see that star now. But it’s daytime. Wait till it gets dark.”

Overheard while in Pharrell’s presence–a new Big Sean track is on the way: “Send [Big] Sean an e-mail and tell him he’s got a missile coming,” Williams tells his assistant before calling Sean himself: “It’s not what we talked about, man. But it’s haaaaard. It’s like ghost-of-Shaka-Zulu hard!”
