Music makes me alive in a way that nothing quite does. Good art, good film, good books, good dance. Exhibitions, history. Nature makes me feel alive. Georgia in the rain - that makes me feel alive. Compassion makes me feel alive. Hard fought victories for social rights.

The most important thing to do for me physiologically is to sleep when I'm tired. I love to sleep and it's very restorative.

Unjust use of force, strength, and brutality. Those are the forces that make me feel vulnerable.

The prize is always worth the rocky ride.

I have faith that my life is in good hands. I honestly try to see how I can grow from uncomfortable circumstances.

Falling, falling, falling, falling down. Look yourself in the eye before you drown.

I don't think any human being is truly free. We're so tethered to our own insecurities and hampered by our fears and our prejudices. I think it's human nature that we're never going to be free.
