I'm a dirty kid, I like to be outside, I like to run about, I like to get messy. So I spent a lot of time outside as a kid, skating and just being a disaster.

It shouldn't matter what anyone else thinks. Life is not easy. The road to happiness is not a path well trotted. You have to find your own path to enlightenment.

My essentials are skinny jeans, loose-fitting tees, big jumpers, and the leather jacket. Everything is black or blue - I don't own anything colorful.

People can hate on you for doing what it is that makes you happy, but ultimately it has to belong to you. It shouldn't matter what anyone else thinks.

I like being broken. It means I can have chocolate for breakfast.

I see myself as a mascot for the kids who get beat down and don't feel like they belong.

For every person that likes you there is going to be a person that doesn't like you. It's the nature of humanity.

I think I'm always drawn to a good story

I don't think I'd really be alive without it, in all honesty.

I tend to thrive on being misquoted. It's the only way I sound good.

For me, it's interesting because I never thought of myself as an action man, but apparently I can do it, so that's good to know.

Though a living cannot be made from art, art makes life worth living. It makes starving, living.

I won't sacrifice my characters morals/intentions/motives for the sake of what I believe is right or wrong. If the action fits the character it will be written. That's that.

Financial institutions like to call what they do trading. Let's be honest. It's not trading; it's betting.

When I was in fourth grade I was drawing Jordans when my mama couldn't afford them.

You are more powerful than you know; you are beautiful just as you are.

All i would like to say is that I'm rich and you're not.

Don't be afraid to write crap - it makes the best fertilizer. The more you write the better your chances of growing something wonderful.

I think the art world will continue to be a place where people have a certain freedom and creativity to think about what's happening in Cuba.

I feel like I experienced my 20s in all their glory and all their disastrousness.

If you're at the top, then brace for the fall.
