Every memory I had growing up was involving a basketball. I didn't go to the prom and stuff like that. It was always basketball for me.

I was just a big fan of tattoos always growing up, and I wanted something cool that symbolizes what I've been through in my life, and everything on my chest and my back is like a collage.

I've had many idols growing up. The inclination for idol worship comes naturally to me.

When I was growing up, skateboarding was big and basketball was big.

When I was growing up, all the art that touched me was lens-generated, like Gerhard Richter, or Polke, Rauschenberg, Warhol.

I had a Stuart Davis poster growing up.
