Time For Creativity

I wasn't concerned about the hardships, because I always felt I was doing what I had to do, what I wanted to do and what I was destined to do.

Go within every day and find the inner strength so that the world will not blow your candle out.

If you dance, you dance because you have to. Every dancer hurts, you know.

We weren't pushing Black is beautiful. We just showed it.
