There was a time Michael Jackson couldn't get his video on MTV because he was considered to be 'urban.' The Michael Jackson. So I literally have to be the Michael Jackson of apparel in order to break down the doors for everyone who will come after I'm gone, after I'm dead.

I know how to swim through backlash. I can tread water through backlash... If anything, that's all giving me power.

We're a blip in the existence of the universe, and we're constantly trying to pull each other down. Not doing things to help each other.
