I live in hip-hop. I don't find it to be offensive.

I am very lucky that I have talented and creative people around me. Also, mediation has been a very big part of my freedom, because it allows me to watch all the things going on and allows me to focus.

If you want to say something profound, writing from your heartbeat is different than writing from the loud voices you get from music. If they're rapping from noise, it's about robbing people. It's that simple.

People are murdering each other without any recourse... So we need to get in our communities and work from the inside out.

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.

People are afraid of failure - they don't like to work so hard and have people keep saying, 'No.' I think that's what people fear most.

When the mind is totally still, there's only bliss. I got a piece of that reality from my first yoga class, from smiling and breathing in every difficult pose. I went, "Oh my God! I'm clear! I love this!"
