There's a beauty in that innocence that comes from not knowing. It allowed me to take a lot of risks and I took them because I chose a company in a field that I love. So for me, it didn't even feel like working.

There's nothing wrong with looking like a woman and going in the workplace and doing everything a man can do but looking 1,000 percent like a lady.

Don't give your power away to anybody. If you find something to do that you truly love, you'll be successful.

As far as things I avoid, I always avoid following trends just because they're trends.

I always have one foot in the street, so I know not everyone wants to dress like the women they see in music videos.

I'm always trying to think of ways to provide jobs and money through what I'm already doing. Charity can be overwhelming, and some people think you have to be Bill Gates to really make a difference momentarily or you have to be Mother Theresa and give up Western life, but you can just incorporate it into your everyday life.

A person's life is of their own making, and I take full responsibility for mine.
