I don't find most people to be as politically engaged as I am. I do find people that appreciate eye-opening events and words, and who want to learn more about what's going on. I do find people with a lot of opinions. And I get a lot of people who come up to me and give us props for what we do.

Day is just a collection of hours.

I like African music, and I'm a huge Ravi Shankar fan.

I think music is an intuitive force. It's this beautiful wave that connects all of us and inspires us, and I think music has the ability - when you listen to a song, you're not immediately thinking about the lyrics or what's going on in the mind of the writer, you're feeling the song.

In the last few years I've been listening to jazz more than anything else. I listen to a lot of world music and experimental here and there.

I'd rather let the music speak for itself.

Pretending that we live doesn't make us alive.
