“Music is real; it’s something you can touch and feel. It moves you – the bass literally shakes you and rocks you from the inside.”

I’ve made this decision not to talk to the press about anything that’s gone on in my life, but just to write music about it. They can interpret it themselves.

Whenever God restores something, He restores it to a place greater than it was before.

Music makes your soul feel amazing while you’re performing it. It’s not air, it’s not wind, it’s not anything like that. It’s solid. It’s thick. It’s like summertime in New York.

You never really want anything you can easily have.

I never had innocence.

I can’t change the world. I have to fix me.

You don’t have a lot of time to massage a scene into oblivion. It’s like you do it, you get a couple of good takes, and then you move on, so you have to be very spontaneous as an actor and have done your homework, and I like that.

We are moving from unconscious evolution through natural selection to conscious evolution by choice.

I think America should amass a strategy for success, and set out the milestones. We need to help the Iraqis get their democracy up and running, we’ve got to help them train their military and police and security people, and we’ve got to start moving out.

Synergistic convergence is the most important idea we have at our disposal to prevent collapse scenarios and move forward in a nonlinear manner toward an evolutionary society.

During inhalation, the breath should move exactly like clouds spreading in the sky.

From beginning to end this is a wet and blood smeared voyage, this begetting and birthing and moving away.

When I move from being a cameraman to being a director I looked at a lot of other cameramen who tried to make the move. And in each case they moved up their camera operator to be the DP, which really meant they didn’t want to give up being the DP, and really wanted to do both.

Move from the known to the unknown.
