I have to be honest about one thing. When I want to America, no on asked me how I was. Everyone always asked me, "How much do you make?"

When I was young, I believed in three things: Marxism, the redemptive power of cinema, and dynamite. Now I just believe in dynamite.

It ain't no joke when you lose your vinyl.

Rosalyn Bruyere has been one of the most important teachers of hands-on healing in the world for many years. I will always be grateful for what I have learned from her.

I think that I've developed very, very good relationships over the last little while with the African-American community. I think you can see that.
