My Heart And Prayers Go Out To

I Don't Want To Force Anything On Anyone. I'm Not Trying To Bust You Over The Head And Make You Buy This Record Or This Song Or Whatever. I'm Presenting It To You So You Can Take It In. You Know, It's Like Trying To Force A Kid To Eat Broccoli. If I Present It As Trees That Make Your Muscles Grow, My Son Is Like, 'i'm Down With Getting Muscles.'

I'm Not Interested In Being Commodified. I'm Not Into Being Sold. I'm Not A Slave.

I Could Float In The Pool For Hours, Just Letting The Water Carry Me.

I Could Hear Music Playing In The Background Of Works By Certain Authors, Like Poe And Shakespeare. And I Discovered Nikki Giovanni When I Was In Eighth Grade. Her Writing Has A Musical Energy With Pulse And Rhythm, Almost Like Jazz Or Hip-hop.

I Believe The Relationship You Have With Your Government Is Not So Different To A Love Relationship.
