Donald Glover continued promotion for his Childish Gambino project with a visit to The Juan Epstein radio show. His second album, Because the Internet, is due out in December. Read some quotes below and stream the entire interview below:

On losing his virginity:

I lost my virginity junior year of college, I was 21…I was awkward, and I was raised Jehovah’s Witness so I thought sex was bad, I thought I was going to go to hell, and get AIDS immediately.

On being honest:

I feel like…I don’t have a wife, I don’t have a kids, but…I see rappers and I’m like, I know that’s fake. I know how much you make, this is all bullshit. But people are buying into it, and you shouldn’t have that power. I’m legit trying to make honest moves so that all of us can grow. I want to make a show where my sister can work on and become a producer because she can’t get in, no one’s leting her. I want to make things where people can actually grow. A place where people can actually be honest.

On wanting to make pop:

I don’t want to be niche…I want to be as big as I can be. This album is not a rap album, I want to make pop. I don’t mean pop like Katy Perry, and I love that, I’ll play that shit at my wedding, but…Peter Gabriel’s pop, Hall & Oates was pop…but I want it to be real.
