I don't like driving very much. That makes me very unhappy, because I scream a lot in the car, but other than that, life is actually pretty good.
Art and life are subjective. Not everybody's gonna dig what I dig, but I reserve the right to dig it.
I fear waking up one morning and finding out my life was all for nothing. We're here for a reason. I believe a bit of the reason is to throw little torches out to lead people through the dark. When you're kind to someone in trouble, you hope they remember and are kind to someone else and so on. Soon it will be like a wildfire....

I told her her I would play a Venetian blind, dirt on the floor, anything.
(Walker) told black women that they don't have to be less than they are capable of being. I try to uphold that standard.
