I am in the lineage of Gil Scott-Heron, great activist-type artists. But I'm also in the lineage of a Miles Davis - you know, that liked nice things also.

Why, if someone is good in one field can they not be accepted or given the slightest opportunity to express and be creative in other fields?

When I say 'Clean water was only served to the fairer skin,' what I'm saying is we're making product with chitlins. T-shirts! That's the most we can make.

I was never really good at anything except for the ability to learn.

I will be the leader of a company that ends up being worth billions of dollars, because I got the answers.

I always want to be the best at whatever I'm attempting to do.

I don't expect to be understood at all.
