It bring a tear to my eye to see native New York people give me my props because New York is stubborn and arrogant.

Purple lipstick? Naw, that looks stupid on all girls!

New York gave me hell for that 'Purple Swag,' man. They didn't respect me until 'Peso.'

I'm getting my respect as a video director. The fashion industry respects me and knows who I am.

Probably, violent things I've done when I was younger, was probably the most despicable thing that I've ever done.

Everybody should be able to enjoy their life, because you only live once. So I just want to get it all out there and be the best role model that I can be, if people want to put me in that kind of predicament. I mean, I didn't ask to be a role model, because I'm not perfect.

I've been into fashion since birth. I grew up in the 'hood, and everybody in the 'hood wants to compensate for being in poverty, so they want to look good to keep themselves up.
