I’m a fan of music, first and foremost. So I do things from the perspective of a fan.
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof. Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth.
So when I’m playing, I’m sort of painting a feeling in the air.
I have an all-Japanese design team, and none of them speak English. So it’s often funny and surprising how my ideas end up lost in translation.
Fashion is more about feel than science.
The “new black” doesn’t blame other races for our issues. The “new black” dreams and realizes that it’s not a pigmentation; it’s a mentality. And it’s either going to work for you, or it’s going to work against you. And you’ve got to pick the side you’re gonna be on.
The motivation for me, was them telling me what I could not be.
Wealth is of the heart and mind, not the pocket.

Clear intentions and clear purpose begets clear results.
When I’m in the mood for room service, my favorite order is a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich.
I’m like most people. We just concentrate on the present. I live right where the film is going through the film projector and it hits the light.
If you kiss a woman’s mind, her body will follow.
If you are not curious, that’s when your brain is starting to die. And discovering, I think, that’s what separates us from the rest of the other species. It’s that we discover and pioneer.
If you allow failure to take on more of a role in your life than possible, then you’ll always look at it on the defense and you’ll always shoot yourself down before it even goes anywhere.
Some of the best art occurs when people are oppressed. That’s just what we do as a species when something shakes us up.
All kings and queens are not born of royal bloodlines. Some become royal because of what they do once they realize who they are.
I stay grounded because everyone around me floats.
I think all music is a gift from God.
I love what I do, I love my job.
