I used to go to Saks, I would go to Bergdorf, I would go to Barneys, I would go to thrift stores in SoHo.
new-york rapper
I don't even like New York rappers.
song ems favourite
I don't have any favourite lyrics. Honestly, all of them I love 'em to death - it's the same with songs. I don't have just one favourite lyric, I love them all.
fashion looks want
I've been into fashion since birth. I grew up in the 'hood, and everybody in the 'hood wants to compensate for being in poverty, so they want to look good to keep themselves up.
mom kids home
I was ashamed to let anyone know that I was living in a shelter. I remember one time coming home and some kids saw me and were like, "What you doing here? This is a shelter!" But I was like, "My mom's working there." It was pretty embarrassing.
boys artist hands
When I started, I was 23 years old directing my own music videos; I'm co-producing on my album; I'm hands-on with everything. I'm more than just a pretty boy: I'm an artist. I'm not saying I'm a hip-hop music artist, I'm an artiste.
vintage car jaguars
I don't like new cars; I'm into vintage cars - there's a Jaguar E-Type in the 'Goldie' video.
fashion who-i-am directors
I'm getting my respect as a video director. The fashion industry respects me and knows who I am.
growing-up world want
I just want my fans to grow up and enjoy the music first, I don't want to change the world that's not what my music is about.
fashion design mind
I wouldn't mind collaborating with anybody, but I don't want to design anything, I'm not a fashion designer.
gold necklaces bracelet
I don't wear diamond necklaces. I'm not against it but I never could afford it, so now I just wear gold. I wear bracelets, rings, anklets.
real red-lipstick pairs
But for real, for me, I feel like with the red lipstick thing it all depends on the pair of complexion. I'm just being for real. You have to be fair skinned to get away with that.
gay rights gay-rights
I'm not a gay rights activist.
laughing potters harry-potter
I love 'Harry Potter' and JK Rowling - don't laugh at me!
