I knew that music was definitely mine; and when I learned harmonies I thought, 'Yeah, harmony is where I'm gonna find God every time'

I think when you've gotten to a point where you are comfortable with certain risks, they kind of feel more like little challenges.

Every act of creation is, in some way, fighting against the inevitability of death and loss.

“Death, a lot of times, we think of as a really sad, sorrowful thing, but death just means the end of one thing and the beginning of something new.”

Your energy is currency, spend it well, invest it wisely.

You can’t find the time, you’ve gotta make the time.

You might be a genius but you still got to execute it, still need to put in the time, need to do something with it.

The most exciting thing about time is that actually, no matter who you are and what you do, we all have the same 24hrs and that’s never been any different, it will never be different. Me & Mozart are time buddies!

Love what you do! Love every single step of the craft, and just do it with honesty and purity!

Just do things that excites you, engages you, that makes others feel delight, feel warmth!

We are so damn lucky to be able to make stuff!

Compassion for somebody else is really another form of compassion for yourself.

How else could I go on living?

You become the one who is leading the teams in ways that everyone feels included, everyone has a voice. Because it's when all the people have a voice, you'll uncover ideas and thoughts and concepts that you have never dreamed could come true.

I think diversity of mindset, diversity of personality types is what also brings together these great teams. If we're all thinking alike, you'll never get to the great work.

The more you can see yourself as a collective and not as an individual… Actually, the more you go backwards in that one and not forward, is the less you'll be afraid in life of change, of adaptation, of things happening to you, and of dying. Because they're all the same.

Schlaf ist das Hineinkriechen des Menschen in sich selbst. Friedrich Hebbel

Wer morgens vor neun auf der Strasse anzutreffen ist, der ist nichts und wird nichts.

“When things get difficult, the only thing that will keep you continuing and going is going back to your ‘why.’”

“I was like, ‘You know what, we need to pursue something that no one else is pursuing. And, we were dumb enough and naïve enough to start something in healthcare because it was difficult.”

I don't know when exactly I stopped being "that Asian girl" and became Miss Info. But I wouldn't have lasted long enough to find out if I was checking my retweet counts or my Instagram comments.

If your passion can protect you, and if it can also shield you from judgment, then I would say use it by really exploring all of the different aspects of whatever your passion entails because then you're more worthy of that protection and you will contribute better to that creative community.

Nobody could deny that I loved what I did, even the little tiny menial parts of it, and I knew my shit backwards and forwards. I think that was the ultimate thing, that passion, and the work behind it is what broke people down. That's how passion protects you.

When I found hip hop, that was it—that was the great love of my life. I knew I couldn't rap or sing. I don't want to dance. I have stage fright all the time. But I knew that I could document hip hop for the artist and for the people who were involved, the fans. I could find the truth, the fact, spread it and mark it down for history.

I was never driven by ambition or financial reward; I don't think you go into hip hop journalism thinking that you're going to then get the hip hop lifestyle. Those two things do not meet.
