Quote

Everything I've experienced, things that my friends have experienced and we talk about, things that are on the news - all aspects of life are in my message.

Belief in oneself and knowing who you are, I mean, that's the foundation for everything great.

Everything I experience influences everything I do.

I perceive and relate to the world through where I grew up; that's part of me. It's what I judge everything else against.

I am happy to say that everyone that I have met in my life, I have gained something from them; be it negative or positive, it has enforced and reinforced my life in some aspect.

I am a great observer of things, and I do it all the time. I store stuff; I use it as an actor; that sort of recall, of emotional memory and images of things, just tastes of things.

I look at life, the experiences I've had, at the human condition, the dynamics between people, the news (world news), and draw from the compelling realities all around us.

The thing that grounds you, and the thing that really gives you a sense of wholeness, is your family, friends and your community. Those are the things that can mirror back to you what you're experiencing, and can affirm to you that the stories you are telling are true.

Everyone and everything that shows up in our life is a reflection of something that is happening inside of us.

We go through our careers and things happen to us. Those experiences made me what I am.
