I'm a b-boy for life. I'm a dancer, I started with free style dancing and b-boying during the '80s and I always said to myself that when I get the chance to do my own thing, I will always have the b-boy element and the dance element because that's where I come from.
I go to the gym four days a week, and focus on my upper body and lower body on alternate days. I also do a lot of free style exercises such as stretching and squatting.
I grew up listening to The Band. I love Lowell George. I love Little Feat, and I was listening to some Springsteen, some of the deep album cuts. I just like the looseness of that kind of music. It all feels like they did it in one take. They let whatever happened happen. If it felt good, they kept it.
Vert skating was the kind of skating that was done in pools, where you could get airborne and be weightless. The other style, which is what I did, was called free style, which was tricks you could do on flat ground.
I've never got on with recipes. Free yourself - throw them out!
I would prefer to use the word free. I think the Dior thing is so much freer. There was not so much free about Jil's way of working.
My style has always been very free, easy, relaxed, and slightly androgynous.
As I am well versed in the art of free-style wrestling, I am keen to pass on this art to the coming generation.
