I am lucky: I have fantastic doctors and a fantastic dentist.

If you say a word often enough it becomes you.

If I do three interviews in a day, I can be exhausted, because the process of hearing everyone requires that I empty out myself. While I'm listening, my own judgments and prejudices certainly come up. But I know I won't get anything unless I get those things out of the way.

Racism has been for everyone like a horrible, tragic car crash, and we've all been heavily sedated from it. If we don't come into consciousness of this tragedy, there's going to be a violent awakening we don't want. The question is, can we wake up?

My work is about giving voice to the unheard, and reiterating the voice of the heard in such a way that you question, or re-examine, what is the truth.

I never know when somebody's going to knock on the door of my own unconscious in a way that I wouldn't have anticipated.

I happen to be a hopeaholic. I tend to look at problems as an opportunity to do some work.
