Every human being is a raindrop. And when enough of the raindrops become clear and coherent they then become the power of the storm.

I've never not been pleased with one of my albums. I figure because it's spoken word, there will be people who relate to it, and people who don't, so I don't worry about any of that. I've been doing it for over twenty years. I've always written because it was something I had to do, never for the glory.

I'm just a human being trying to make it in a world that is very rapidly losing it's understanding of being human.

We're all human beings and we all have feelings. And we all live in this industrial meat grinder where we don't really understand love anymore.

Protect your spirit, because you are in the place where spirits get eaten.

The past is more than a memory.

I think it's the responsibility of every human being, not just those who wear the identity of poet, activist, voter, religious person... it's the responsibility of every person. Our responsibility is to use our intelligence as clearly and coherently as we possibly can.
