I've got so much in my brain and I want to change the way we think sometimes.

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.

In Harlem, I got all my black friends. But when I go downtown, I got black, white, Asian, Indian friends. There's no borders, no barriers.

Who people like is their own business. It don't concern me. I know what I do - and I'm having a lot of fun with the women that I'm with.

I hate the hype. When 50 Cent came out, people were saying that he was the best rapper alive: "Oh, he got shot nine times, he's better than Tupac, he's better than Biggie." That was all hype.

All of the young people - the artsy people, people who get overlooked because they're weird or they don't have hype around them - need to get some shine.

I'm not a gay rights activist.
