I'm based in Atlanta so there weren't a lot of people to talk to about fashion because no one was really doing it on the scale that I wanted to do it. I had to do a lot of research on my own.

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.

The thing is you can be a great designer but you can also be lazy or not understand the other person's preferences or be more concerned about being a star than being good at what you do.

I want to be recognized but I don't seek it out.

Somebody once told me if you're doing what you're supposed to you don't have to force it.

I started out doing everything on a custom scale and when that started paying the bills I started making more pieces.

Starting out is very difficult if you don't have a clientele.

Always Try And Be Kind To Other People - Especially Women And Children.

If you want to know, life is the principle of self-renewal, it is constantly renewing and remaking and changing and transfiguring itself.

Sometimes fact is stranger than fiction.

Just as a picture is created by adding a dab of paint at a time, the best arrangements are created a step at a time, with pauses so you can step back and see the overall effect.

For the most part, I try to be healthy and eat good things, but if you give me a baguette and some Camembert, I'm gonna eat it.

My acting range? Left eyebrow raised, right eyebrow raised.

Let the lover be disgraceful, crazy, absent-minded. Someone sober will worry about events going badly. Let the lover be.

Everyone wants to look their best, everyone has dreams of wanting to look like something else. But we are who we are.

Battle scars just remind us that we survived.

Think about laughing and laugh about thinking.
