Sometimes you just have to go and make a mess of things to get people to pay attention.

I don't have a religion because I don't like that word religion.

People think they will wake up one day and I'll be gone. But I'm never going away.

Just because I'm presented life in a certain way doesn't mean I do all these things. It's just something I choose to express.

I've never really lived a conventional life, so I think it's quite foolish for me or anyone else to start thinking that I am going to start making conventional choices.

You'll always be two steps behind me.

Being poor in Africa is something people in America can't relate to. Part of the challenge is bringing that reality to people and moving them. You have to arouse compassion.
