I think we [with Riccardo Tisci] share a sensibility about art - we pull from the ancient future.

I think that when Riccardo Tisci wanted to bring more attention to the lack of African American presence on the runway, he also wanted to bring attention to the lack of a sensibility of African and Asian art.

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 nine-year-old daughter is very creative and colorful and trendy.

Anything that had to do with art I been doing all my life. It was a gift. It's nothing I work real hard at doing.

All of my children are the same way I am. They're little artists too, in their own ways.

I've been a vegetarian since I was 19.
