You have to be present, awake and happy now.

You have to live your life as if you are already where you want to be.

I think people instinctively know that their job is to give service and that they are part of a community. It had a great impact on me when my father walked the picket lines and I walked with him during the civil rights movement.

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

My wife Kimora once told me while we were watching "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" that it's a vegetarian movie because the way that the woman was screaming, "Aaaahhh," and trying to run away is how every animal you eat reacted at the slaughterhouse.

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.

What I would do to change this planet is have everyone meditate and look inside. Then we'd have a happier, more service-oriented, less-needy world.
