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 Picture Quote #1

I want to connect music to its highest power - which is heightening consciousness and affecting people’s reality. That can’t be done in normal ways, not according to my experience Picture Quote #1

When I look at certain aspects of popular culture - not everything because I like a lot of things - sometimes my heart breaks a little bit, just a little bit. I begin to ponder what happened to this generation, I don’t know Picture Quote #1

Half of the popcorn sh-t that’s out there, we know it’s popcorn. But we’re like, It’s my guilty pleasure. I feel like we have more guilty pleasure than actual f - kin’ pleasure Picture Quote #1

You can travel through literature, and you can expand your mind through literature. It’s so cheap to buy that kind of ticket Picture Quote #1

We are unraveling our navels so that we may ingest the sun. We are not afraid of the darkness. We trust that the moon shall guide us. We are determining the future at this very moment. We know that the heart is the philosopher’s stone. Our music is our alchemy Picture Quote #1

Pools of blood are not recreational even lifeguards drown when the undertow breaks bread with the underbelly demons disguised as sharks have not put enough thought into their costumes a wiseman stays ashore when pointed fins read like italian subtitles the end is near (...) the beginning Picture Quote #1

I think art can really serve to inspire a movement - and, of course, it has in the past. The Civil Rights movement wouldn’t have the same resonance without the songs from everyone from Pete Seeger to Odetta to James Brown Picture Quote #1

I keep trying to forget, but I must remember. And gather the scattered continents of a self, once whole. Before they plant flags and boundary my destiny. Push down the watered mountains that blemish this soiled soul before the valleys of my conscience get the best of me. I’ll need a passport just to simply reach the rest of me. A vaccination for a lesser god’s bleak history Picture Quote #1

Art can play a major role. I look at art as an alternative source of energy, the same way we might look at wind or solar or lithium batteries Picture Quote #1
