My advice always is to start very simple and master your timing and master the most simple beats that you can, and you just keep elevating from that.

Not everyone needs to be slammed into a category and locked there.
When you get locked up, you get locked out.
Why don’t we actually fight for a woman’s right even to complain about being beaten up. That is more important than driving. If a woman is beaten, they are told to go back to their homes – their fathers, husbands, brothers – to be beaten up again and locked up in the house.

There are two kinds of designers: ones who are very happy locked in their office surrounded by their coterie. The last thing they need to do is to go to a trunk show; they’d go running for the hills. I not only enjoy it, I think, how do you design things that are applicable to life – unless you live it?

The first time I got locked up, I was in Walmart stealing BB guns.
