Quote

“I want to be bigger than everybody else, but I wouldn't want to be so big that people can't accept it. For instance, if you come in with 30-inch arms, even your own peers aren't going to accept that. I wouldn't want to be that way. I wouldn't want to infinitely become unreal. "

“I want to be bigger than everyone else, but I don't want to be so big that people can't accept it. For example, if you arrive with 30-inch arms, your own colleagues will not accept that either. I wouldn't want to be like that. I wouldn't want to become infinitely fake. "
