Allow yourself to be out of your depth at all times.

I live or die for hip-hop and it's a beautiful form but you're a writer first and foremost.

Actually in the moment in which the idea has life, when it's listened to read, engaged with, acted on stage, it gains another dimension, it becomes three dimensional.

Never expect what you write to be any good, 'cause it's the fear of writing badly that stops you from finding the right words.

When you're a story teller, you work out everything. You work out who these people are, what's going to be happening. The environment in which they live.

Some things, it's very useful to begin without knowing fully where you're going.
