I didn't go to school for fashion, I didn't have anybody to teach me anything about fashion - that's all I knew how to do, graphic design.

I was working a corporate job for years and it always felt restrictive, it felt like I was doing something I wasn't supposed to be doing.

I believe that if you work hard enough and do things the right way recognition will come.

I wanted to give people an experience. I wanted them to get their money's worth.

I wasn't able to afford high-end brands or any of that, so I grew up on streetwear.

I want to represent the street, not in a negative sense, but in the sense that when I was growing up, that's what I grew up on.

Once you get over the first hill, there is always a new, higher one lurking, of course.

When we are in health, all sounds fife and drum for us; we hear the notes of music in the air, or catch its echoes dying away when we awake in the dawn.

The U.S. Treasury has got borrowing costs like nobody else has. They can borrow basically unlimited amounts. They can stay there for years and years. These assets will be worth more money over time.

When you elect chicken hawks, chicken hawks take you to war.

I hate to say it, but killing is our way. We began America with genocide, then built it with slaves. The shootings will continue. It's who we are.

A hotel is a place that keeps the manufacturers of 25-watt bulbs in business.
