On knowledge of self: "It's something you live everyday. It's a practice of speaking truthfully and acknowledging the beauty that's in us innately. Acknowledging the value that's in us innately, and having the courage to sit in comfort with that as our representation in the world.

That's a very powerful process, of life, I don't know how to do this right now, but I trust that I have the ability and I trust that how it's going to manifest in my life is of value, and I'm not going to ask somebody's permission to create my art or to speak my beauty. I'm not going to ask permission to do it. I'm going to do it."
