A lie preserved in stained glass doesn't make it more true.

I think art can really serve to inspire a movement - and, of course, it has in the past. The Civil Rights movement wouldn't have the same resonance without the songs from everyone from Pete Seeger to Odetta to James Brown.

I have a very family-like connection to hip-hop, which is why it frustrates me so much.

I'm somewhat of an empath, I would say. I relate easily to ideas and stories, books, films, music. I'm moved by all of these things. Art in general. But not just art, you know?

I'm very excited about the resurgence of vinyl which seems to parallel a growing interest in live performance.

I think that heartbreak is a good thing.
