Hip-hop is a voice for voiceless poor people.

Every time I go into a new venture, I find a "rabbi" who has the business acumen to help me understand the mechanics of that industry, the costs involved in developing a product, and what you need to do in order to make a profit.

I don't want to appease everyone. It seems very difficult to be steadfast on truth and be a politician.

I try to make my life about service, and hope that one day we can all 'see' a little better because God is with everyone and everywhere.

If you talk about the prison-industrial complex, I've fought against the prison-industrial complex when I called for a repeal of the Rockefeller drug laws. The biggest impediment to get the laws changed was the lobbyists. Whether you're talking about healthcare, jobs going overseas, or tax reform, you're always coming up against lobbyists.

The best defense for any group of people is what we do to defend other people.

If you don't break a hole through the brick wall, don't just start digging a new hole. Keep going until you break through that wall.
