I don’t believe in style. I believe in authenticity.

I'm drawn to materials that have a history.

A well-educated black has a tremendous advantage over a well-educated white in terms of the job market. I think sometimes a black may think they don't have an advantage or this and that... I've said on one occasion, even about myself, if I were starting off today, I would love to be a well-educated black, because I believe they do have an actual advantage.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit that we must cultivate every day.

"I don't just want to be good. I want to be the best."
