kindness heart emotional
Muscle mass does not always equal strength. Strength is kindness and sensitivity. Strength is understanding that your power is both physical and emotional. That it comes from the body and the mind. And the heart.
ignorance feet racism
Weakness is what brings ignorance, cheapness, racism, homophobia, desperation, cruelty, brutality, all these things that will keep a society chained to the ground, one foot nailed to the floor.

Hope is the last thing a person does before they are defeated.
way violence done
I see violence in myself; I've done some pretty violent things in my lifetime and I've been around some pretty severe violence all the way up to homicide.
iron lifting-weights work-out
I prefer to work out alone. It enables me to concentrate on the lessons that the Iron has for me.
hate men car
If you hate your parents, the man or the establishment, don't show them up by getting wasted and wrapping your car around a tree. If you really want to rebel against your parents, out-learn them, outlive them, and know more than they do.
pain thinking feelings
I think about the meaning of pain. Pain is personal. It really belongs to the one feeling it. Probably the only thing that is your own. I like mine.
powerful writing thinking
I think to write fiction you have to have a powerful need/desire to connect. I can't. Wanting to and not being able to has lead to a lot of misery in my life.

We know that in September, we will wander through the warm winds of summer's wreckage. We will welcome summer's ghost.
long telling-the-truth feels
As long as I tell the truth I feel that nobody can touch me.
want next painful
It's so painful to be next to someone you feel strongly about and know you can't say the things you want to.
character writing thinking
I write what I can. I think being able to write like Michael Connelly and have a character that goes from novel to novel, or to dramatize history like Vidal or Ellroy, or have an explosively inventive mind like Bulgakov, would be an incredible thing. I don't have that. I only have what I have.
running deeper wounds
My love runs deeper than the wounds.
passion emotional kind
For me the music is not so much anger as much as it is of passion. And I've always associated that kind of intense emotional output with music just because the nature of the music that's attracted me as far as live.
