I love my own culture. I love my African-American culture very deeply, and I know it deserves to be honored. You have to be aware that people are suffering unjustly, and given our own history we have a duty to stand for the people who are being treated like our parents and grandparents and children were treated.

I try to teach my heart not to want things it cant have.

What hurts the most is being misunderstood. They tell me that's an Aquarian trait - that that's the thing we don't like.

I'm one in what I do and what I say and what I believe.

Politically, the world is so confused right now - there's so much suffering caused by various movements by various parties and people in power in government.

The Animals of the planet are in desperate peril and they are fully aware of this. No less than human beings are doing in all parts of the world, they are seeking sanctuary.

The infinite faith I have in people's ability to understand anything that makes sense has always been justified, finally, by their behavior.
