I think Hollywood is incredibly segregated. I've never seen any place like it.

The thing about hip-hop is that it's from the underground, ideas from the underbelly, from people who have mostly been locked out, who have not been recognized.

I applaud what the Oscars are doing to promote diversity. I think it's great.

We want the government to be controlled by all the people, not by the richest 1%. That's always been the first demand. That's a simple enough message, and I think it's pretty clear now, even though much of the media has been disingenuous in its coverage. We don't want the heads of the biggest industries to make all the decisions, because they're not for the people. They're for the corporations. Power to the people!

That was never my intention to compete with the Oscars.

Cruelty is cruelty, whether it's cruelty to children, to the elderly, to dogs and cats, or to chickens.

Get unstuck from whatever it is you perceive is holding you back from realizing your dreams.
