dream thinking trying
I think everybody on this planet does that - trying to capture your dream after you wake up.
thinking fool doe
I think we fool ourselves and really negate a great deal of history if we think that the oral history of poetry is shorter than the written history of poetry. It's not true. Poetry has a longer oral tradition than it does written
thinking order important
I've never believed it's really so important that you conform to the ways of the system in order to beat the system. I think that the system follows a great deal.
art thinking focus
The downfall of the industry seems to actually be good for art. I think the industry will find their way once the focus shifts from its greed-based origins, downsizes, and begins to support creative visions that speak to our times and shifting ideals.
moving thinking people
You change the beat up, you might change the way people dance to the music. If you change the way they move, maybe they'll think about it differently.
moving thinking roles
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.
thinking self culture
American culture is often so self-consumed that we often think that our problems are just our problems.
writing thinking ideas
I think everything has its place. So if the ideas or the fluidity isn't coming in writing, maybe it's related to ingestions.
thinking good-things
I think that heartbreak is a good thing.
heart thinking skins
I think that the heart is a lot like those wonderful fruit, like coconut and mangoes, you know, you have to break the skin, you have to break it open to get to the good part.
blown mind people power
There's no doubt in my mind that 'Slam' is going to be huge. It's a film about the power of language. People are going to see this and get blown away.
signs
The MC has to be just that, a master in control. They can show no signs of weakness.
age time
You can't do anything that's not political in this time and age.
define itself simply
'Niggy Tardust' is the voice of a generation, a generation that does not define itself simply by what it's born into.
