The world doesn't need another clothing company. But it does need a certain funk.

Those people online are analyzing everything both of you do. Andre, every new song you're on gets scrutinized.

It's funny, I don't even consider myself a rapper, I don't consider myself a designer, or even an actor. I just like creating stuff and trying to make good work, whatever it is. I don't care if it's designing toothbrushes. It's just making cool stuff to leave behind, that's all it is, it's nothing more.

When the OutKast sound changed and I started producing my own records, I would mirror what I thought that character doing that music would look like. As the sound got a little wilder, freakier and funkier, so did the clothes. Then when the sound got more sophisticated, the clothes changed again.

I think it's real important to show style now. The majority of style right now is to act like you don't have style at all, so most companies are getting rich off clothes that look torn, clothes that look worn.

I'm a fan of making things that I've seen but couldn't purchase, or things I bought that didn't fit the way I like.

What's cooler than bein' cool?
