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

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.

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.

Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud.

She would never truly be her own woman if she allowed fear and old memories to dictate where she would or would not go.

The hallucination of being a separate ego will not stand up to biological tests.

I like extravagance. Letters which give the postman a stiff back to carry, books which overflow from their covers, sexuality which bursts the thermometers.

Rationality is the recognition of the fact that nothing can alter the truth and nothing can take precedence over that act of perceiving it.

I would rather have 10 people working on a record that are really committed and believe in it and love it, than 50 people who have no idea who I am or what I'm for.

I've thought about doing other dramatic roles besides westerns, but I grew up in the West and I know the West.

We live our lives for our life's sake, rather than for illusions about rewards and satisfaction after we're dead.

The preparatory education of candidates for knighthood was long and arduous.

Wisdom and spirit of the Universe!
