Quotes

“The best career advice I’ve gotten is to stay focused, keep moving forward.”

“I only like people to know what I want them to know. People didn’t know what Tupac was doing. That’s why he was so iconic.”

“I have a lot of tattoos. I probably have over 100 tattoos. I don’t know. It’s just a mural… a collage.”

“God puts us in places. It’s for you to make the decision whether you go left or right.”

“Tattoos, for me, are like a timeline of my life. I could look at a certain tattoo, and it reminds of me of a certain time in my life and why I got that tattoo.”

“As long as you know yourself and you got good people around you and you passionate about what you do, that’s all that matters because at the end of the day, you go to sleep with the people you love, you wake up with the people you love, and you spend your time with the people you love.”

“Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you do, you’ll be successful.”
