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

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.

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.

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.

If you follow, practice and live ‘Ownership’, you have arrived in Life

Whatever your life's work is, do it well. A man should do his job so well that the living, the dead, and the unborn could do it no better.

Now is the only time we own give love toil with a will. And place no faith in tomorrow for the clock may then be still.

It is our duty to make this world a better place for women.

When you share your last crust of bread with a beggar, you mustn't behave as if you were throwing a bone to a dog. You must give humbly, and thank him for allowing you to have a part in his hunger.

It is not theatre that is indispensable, but something quite different. To cross the frontiers between you and me.

I think the community that you're in really can define your ability to be at peace with your circumstances.

I always find that it's when a script is not detailed, then I have to do more work as an actor.

I shall laugh myself to death at this puppy-headed monster!

The wise win before they fight, while the ignorant fight to win.
