“I’m getting my respect as a video director. The fashion industry respects me and knows who I am.”

I don’t even like New York rappers.

I want to be the first guy to help people accept everybody for who they are. I’m talking about colors, religions, sex, everybody. My music is for everybody, it’s not just for one kind of group.

God is letting me shine, because I’ve got a good heart.

I haven’t been a gay activist. I haven’t protested for gay rights or none of that, but one thing I can say is that a lot of the designers I wear are gay and I like their clothes.

I don’t cook, ’cause I don’t know how to cook.

Everybody should be able to enjoy their life, because you only live once. So I just want to get it all out there and be the best role model that I can be, if people want to put me in that kind of predicament. I mean, I didn’t ask to be a role model, because I’m not perfect.

New York gave me hell for that ‘Purple Swag,’ man. They didn’t respect me until ‘Peso.’

It would be disrespectful to take my stardom and bully my way into the fashion industry.

I’m a people’s person, believe it or not. I just have a dark side to me, which we all do.

In Harlem, I got all my black friends. But when I go downtown, I got black, white, Asian, Indian friends. There’s no borders, no barriers.

All of the young people – the artsy people, people who get overlooked because they’re weird or they don’t have hype around them – need to get some shine.

A career is wonderful, but you can’t curl up with it on a cold night.

My career should adapt to me. Fame is like a VIP pass wherever you want to go.

Look, whenever I hear or read I’m beautiful, I simply don’t understand it. I’m certainly not beautiful in any conventional way. I didn’t make my career on beauty.

The moment I used my adversity to my advantage, my career exploded.

I think that’s why my career is going to be so long: Because I haven’t given people everything.

I don’t think of my life as a career. I do stuff. I respond to stuff. That’s not a career – it’s a life!

I’ve always taken things very seriously, since I was very young, and that’s reflected in my career.

Throughout my career, I fed off the fuel of people not being able to understand me.
