Paradise is to be the ultimate instrument, fulfilling God's desperate intent that we love each other.
Ruby DeeSpike Lee made such a difference in terms of black filmmakers, the subtleties - those authors, those writers who write from love, and those who write from that lofty position of superiority.I felt he took aspects of the black experience in America and held it up for us to see. He tried to put it in perspective. He did put it in perspective in his unique way.
Ruby DeeYou just try to do everything that comes up. Get up an hour earlier, stay up an hour later, make the time. Then you look back and say, โWell, that was a neat piece of juggling there -- school, marriage, babies, career.โ The enthusiasms took me through the action, not the measuring of it or the reasonableness.

Beating back shocked indignation, kicks in the groin, stones, classified unacceptable, not to be tolerated, not to be wooed, not to be conspired with. Only then can music, dance, movies, plays, rap be about life. Only then can life be cherished and adored.
