I'm pretty mutable as a human being.

I had the opportunity, as a child, to grow up in a community center where I was exposed to theater, music, art, and computer science; things that I would have never had the opportunity to even meet had it not been for those people taking time out of their schedules, helping us as children to travel all over the world while sitting in a gymnasium. That's what I did before I was a musician, before I was a recording artist, I was a teacher and a community leader.

My eyes are green, Cause I eat a lot of vegetables, It don't have nothing to do with your new friend

I don't have any particular thing I do ritualistically. I do the same thing every day. I get up. Drink a lot of water. Have a wheatgrass shot. Drink some green juice. Eat as healthy as I can.

We as Black people have to tell our own stories. We have to document our history. When we allow someone else to document our history the history becomes twisted and we get written out. We get our noses blown off.

I think [ fashion philosophy] it's about your smile and your smell.

I think people who vibrate at the same frequency, vibrate toward each other. They call it - in science - sympathetic vibrations.
