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

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 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.

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.

Ah, I see. You don't know much about us and the unknown equals the barbaric, the primitive. Although it is you lot who are ignorant.

Feed a squirrel and he'll leave you alone every day.

I wish my school days could have dragged on a little longer, or that I could go back and do it later in life.

It is difficult batting in artificial light with a red ball but it's a horrible task for umpires to make a judgment.

Computers and games don't waste time - people do.

I think I can do more inside the Republican Party to keep it in the center of the road. That's where Eisenhower was. And I'm an unabashed Eisenhower Republican.

If we've been a little more successful than other people, is because we always realised that the school of life was always open, and if you were not learning more you are falling behind.

I want you to walk out of here tonight not loving me more, but loving yourselves more.

I'm about as big a star as the Baha'i faith has got, which is pretty pathetic.

I'm not politically vocal. I just want what's best for our country. I want our rights respected and those of my son's.
