I'm a very sensitive person at times. Not just to words that anybody says, but in relationships for example, the people that you open up to, you listen to, you hear - you know? So a lot of times, the key to some of my vulnerability is just through things, simple things - or critiques or whatever - or could be very simple things that are said.

I have an acquired taste for language, yet it is seldom an actual focus of mine.

The role that theater has placed in enhancing consciousness and moving systems ahead. I think of what South African theater meant for the apartheid movement, for example. I think of what music has meant for so many social movements across time.

What's wrong with hip-hop is the system that controls the definition of it. There needs to be more balance on the airwaves.

It's crazy when you see very little reflection between what's played on the radio and what people are talking about in the streets. It lets you know how far off we are from a real movement.

There is nothing more negligent than attempting to address a problem one finds on a branch than by censoring the leaves.

I think everybody on this planet does that - trying to capture your dream after you wake up.
