If Drake was looking for something else to boost the emotional high he’s feeling following the official release of Take Care, covering Complex (via a weathered album cover that nods to Miles Davis’ legendary Kind Of Blue LP) should probably do it. The interview takes place on Drizzy’s home turf, and the Canadian opens up about beefs (both real and perceived) between himself and everyone from Jay-Z and Kanye to Pusha T.. Below, come along for “The Ride” as we round up the SNL performer‘s classiest quotes.

7 CLASSY QUOTES FROM DRAKE’S COMPLEX COVER STORY:

:: On music:“It doesn’t matter if it’s from like Lana Del Ray all the way to Future from Atlanta or ASAP Rocky. Sonically, you can do whatever you want. That’s the beautiful thing about music: you get to make a choice.”

:: On impressing the ladies: “I used to rent a [Rolls-Royce] Phantom for $6,000 a month. I would tell girls I owned it or whatever. You know, I would exaggerate. But now it’s all good.”

:: On his new tricked-out shower: “[It’s] lit by all LED lights. It has 10 jets, an overhead, and it sprays out lavender or whatever scents you want. It’s something I’ve always wanted.”

:: On being picked on for his style: “I can’t do anything. All they want me to do is dress so they can make fun of me. Otherwise, it’s hard for them. I don’t give people many reasons to dislike me. They have to find shit. They’re like, ‘Aw man, sweaters! He wears sweaters too much.’ Like, what?”

:: On his rumored relationship with tennis pro Serena Williams: “I really, really love and care for [her]. She’s incredible. That’s someone I’m proud to say I know. She’s definitely in my life and I’m in her life. It’s great to watch her play tennis. Very impressive.”

::Of course, that doesn’t mean Drake doesn’t appreciate beauty: “Rashida [Jones] has a beautiful, beautiful spirit.”

:: On being confident:“This is it. I have a great album. I have a great team. I have my visuals together. I have a great live show—those are all things that I know.”
