What I most regretted were my silences. Of what had I ever been afraid?
I like making mini-movies rather than just three-minute, place-the-champagne-here-for-sponsorship videos.
I feel worn down as a human being who has to constantly justify their existence to other human beings because I'm a minority
I have searched all night and day for new and better words that could express my feelings and fear for the people of this country. I found no new words. I only have no hope-filled insight to deliver. I only have this warning to all Americans: Whatever this country is willing to do to the least of us, it will one day do to us all.
People tend to think of gentrification in terms of race because it's presented that way, and I think it's presented that way because in poor cities that's what's really going on. Beyond that, I think it's presented that way as a way for the people who are really pushing it to make it just a black problem, so people don't care.
I'll always push for what I believe in. That's what you're supposed to do. If you're an American, you're supposed to be part of the political process, especially if you've been denied it.
What I am is an encourager. I encourage all who deserve freedom to fight for that. And if you can't win by yourself, then find other people to be in solidarity with.
When you're used to having electricity and then all of a sudden it's taken away, you're basically just one step from being a wild animal.
I set up a system for myself where I work on a lot of pieces at once. I'll switch between them and keep working on a piece until it comes together, and then I'll publish it. This way some pieces can take a year if they need to. The trick is to just make sure one is ready every week.
Perfection is a disease of a nation.
You only regret what you don't do! Go for it, live your dreams and enjoy it all!
