Those who need nothing attract everything.

I read "The Yoga Sutras" every day.And also the "The Bhagavad Gita." Those two books sit by my bed.

If you give a good thing to the world, then over time your karma will be good, and you'll receive good.

The conditions of suffering that exist today in our impoverished communities are not acceptable. The reflection of those conditions are less concerning to me. And I work everyday about changing the conditions.

Most artists are making as much money now as they could have made... in the heyday of Def Jam [when the] Beastie Boys would sell 10 million records or DMX would sell 6 or 7 million records. Those records are one thing, but then all the other ways to exploit the emotional relationship between artist and community is so much greater that I would guess that they're making as much or more money than they could have ever made.

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.

The poets who do this are uniquely conscious of this silence, this stillness.
