color learning-experience
You learn from experiences, and I suppose that's where I color most of my music, from experiences.
art people shakes
Some of the best art occurs when people are oppressed. That's just what we do as a species when something shakes us up.
creativity loyal
Stay loyal to your creativity because it's a gift.
fashion well-dressed feels
Fashion is more about feel than science.
dream race issues
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.
air feelings painting
So when I'm playing, I'm sort of painting a feeling in the air.
order jelly sandwiches
When I'm in the mood for room service, my favorite order is a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich.
perspective firsts fans
I'm a fan of music, first and foremost. So I do things from the perspective of a fan.
light people film
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.
rooms roof feels
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof. Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth.
team speak-english ideas
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.
looks defense roles
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.
growing-up kids want
I just like being a kid. I enjoy it, I don't want to grow up.
ideas people motivated
The best work comes from people who are motivated by crisis. When something stops their original idea, they respond by coming up with something even better.
