The most successful people in our business, by and large, are humble, accessible, and down to earth.

Do you know anyone whose opinion you trust, anyone who you consider a mentor, anyone you look up to as a role model, who is an asshole?

I constantly try to build on my process.

On my days off, I would go to New York and make appointments from phonebooths to show my portfolio.

At some point my parents decided to tell me that play time was over. That drawing thing was for children. In Nigeria, we were told to find a career.

As a graffiti artist you can't just paint in nice, open areas, you kind of got to go where the scum and the filth is.

That was my formation, just persistance in doing and doing something that you enjoy without any kind of vision of any profitable outcome of it.

I tried studying advertising and I failed miserably.

Back then the visual identity of a place was way more interesting than it is now, all the shops, all the signs were made by hand and somehow, whatever artist it is was, tried to reflect what that was about in his handcraft.

I don’t know why I had to set up a show in a gallery. I can post whatever I want online. I can just put something out, people can visit it, and take what they want from it.

One thing I’ve learned from my friends in the street art community is to always document your work. It’s such a temporary form of art.

It's not the world that you dream of that makes a difference. It's the world that you take part in creating, that does.

Curation was replacing Creation as the predominant mode of self expression.

Everything we know is hidden.

I went there to study architecture [...] but I realized it wasn't really the buildings I was interested in; it was the space between the buildings—it was the people, it was the energy, it was all of the different layers that make a city tick.

Shouldn't good talented people be trying to change the whole world, whatever sector?

I'm going to convince you that it's great to work in advertising as a designer.

Start a conversation with yourself about what the future looks like for you.

We're consistently putting the screen in the way of where human interaction should be.

All of us have this great power and opportunity, yet not many of us seem to be that content with our lives.

What are you actually going to do with the power that has been given to you?

Quand on innove, c'est parce qu'on est ouvert, qu'on collabore. Et ça renforce notre identité.

They are willing to be entertained. They are willing to be engaged. You just have to find where that communication can happen.

The best way for a troublemaker, or creative person, to survive and thrive in a career that you love is to focus on doing your best work and learning something new every single day.
