I come from Somalia. We start working young, and we understand that kind of life. I would be bored to death not doing anything creative.

When 9/11 happened, 12 of our neighborhood firemen were killed. I looked around at the country that had adopted me and I became an American.

Don't be afraid to walk away from things that are just not right for you.

I don't do anything by myself. I have a whole crew to get me ready every day.

Every generation and every group brings the door into other things.

There is no age better than another.

If I feel frustrated in a situation, I take a deep breath and walk away.
