“It was all about – very selfish in a lot of ways.”

Sort of doesn’t really matter as much anymore, when you’re surrounded by great musicians who bring their spirit, their own talent.

Words are maybe less than accessible at expressing.

Well, I’m not a scientist; I’m not an expert on environmental law; I’m a guy that can tell stories.

Let’s show people how desirable it is to step it up and climb towards heaven.

I would always just sort of pick up instruments and make noise with ’em.

I’ve been given the opportunity to be alive in this day and age, and it’s rare.

So I think we have a lot of room to grow and be a better society, and it’s a constant battle. It’s an exciting opportunity to be active.

I think it can be a lot more collaborative. People, instead of competing, they can actually support each other, in music.

So I always look for a way to communicate ideas and help to spread excitement for change.

And when you perform and create this story, they’re chuffed – they get excited, they capture it, and they put it out.

I think you can find a lot of joy and inspiration through food.

Words just aren’t necessary a good enough opportunity to express.

As great as technology is, it still has it’s limitations, because it’s only a frame of the truth.

Find a partner, commit to taking action, and hold each other accountable.

We must humble ourselves and commit to routine and collective actions.

I really do believe that in order to overcome our environmental shortcomings.

My personality’s very obsessive-compulsive. I tend to fixate a lot.

When I started making music, I was like, ‘This is something I can believe I was meant to do.’

I make a lot of expressions constantly. I’m animated.

It’s all part of my journey – I’ve done a lot of stupid things, but you learn by your mistakes.

It is the lot of man to share in the deeper aspirations of the universe around him and to share his own destiny as well as that of the universe, now by adjusting himself to its forces, now by putting the whole of his energy to his own ends and purposes.

I think – a lot of times in hip-hop, especially – artists get kind of pigeonholed into being ‘the guy,’ and it’s kind of limiting in a way.

Oh, I listened to a lot of the blues. I love the blues. You know, Slim Harpo, people like that, and Sonny Boy Williamson.

A lot of music is mathematics. It’s balance.
