I got most of my style from people around me who I knew personally.

As long as you focus on your strengths and remain natural, then you come off natural [in your work].

If you are a true fan, you're a fan for one of two reasons. You either support what I do or you support me as a person. If you support what I do, the quality of work speaks for itself. If you support me as a person, my personal and political views won't alienate you. If you find a way to be turned off, that means you were never a fan in the first place. You were just riding the wave.

We cannot continue to get caught up in having material abundance and yet be fundamentally and spiritually broke.

We've somehow allowed ourselves to think it's okay to neglect and abandon our responsibility to ourselves and to our community. Everything cannot be blamed on the system.

It has to be understood that the world doesn't exist with people who are exactly like us.

We must work to reshape the need for our children to want to live so fast even if it means dying too young.
