I'm only in competition with my last level.

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.

In music, it makes for a good platform to take time and really mold a piece the way I need to mold it. When it comes to fashion, I create a functional art that moves.

I lived in New York for maybe a year and a half, from '95 to '97, but I live in Dallas. My whole family is there.

Don't let anybody infiltrate your dream

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 feel like I need to preach to the world or nothing like that. I just feel like I share what I say, and if listeners get it, they get it. And I never underestimate the audience's ability to feel me.
