“I dress how I feel. I just go off emotion. I can’t prepare my outfit a day before. Everything I wear is spontaneous.”

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.

Probably, violent things I’ve done when I was younger, was probably the most despicable thing that I’ve ever done.

I take cabs if I need to get somewhere or I take car service. I don’t drive, I wouldn’t mind riding a bike… People think that because you become an entertainer you gotta have this rock star thug image. I’m an artist, man. I’m going to live like an artist.

Design my own line? No, I just like the culture.

If a chick wants to know who makes my shoes, she’s got to take them off my feet and look inside.

Levi’s can produce many more Western jeans than we can and make them at a better price.

There has been a change in men’s attitudes toward their clothes. Men are more aware of fashion; they’re not afraid of it.
