Growing up as a city kid is a joyous time!

I am more into guys' fashion, but I'm inspired by women's fashion in a weird way.

I take references from the past and flip them.

I want to change the color of Starbucks from green to red. Whose job was it to say, 'This is going to be green?' I want that to be my job.

Growing up, I was often put under a lot of pressure. Being an athlete, I've been dealing with pressure for a long time.

My parents were very supportive of my chess. When I got home after a game of chess, having missed school or something, they always made me feel very welcome; I didn't feel guilty at all about pursuing chess with such fervour. They never, for instance, perceived sports as a rival to academics.

There are many ways to grow football-wise. You go slow or are pushed to go faster, otherwise you get left behind. For me, there would be trouble in stopping learning.

It's physically very, very, very trying to be onstage as a performer, not unlike an athlete, for thirty years.
