“I believe it is our responsibility to make sure that Tupac’s entire body of work is made available for his fans.”

People can like him or not like him individually. But I need for them to know that he was a person of substance, and he was worthy, and he was a good son and a good brother and a good participant in the community.

I’m not a filmmaker. I’m not a music producer by choice.

Nelson Mandela’s contribution to the people of South Africa has been immeasurable and I look forward to helping with his work all over the country.

Revolution is Tupac showing a young artist that he can scribble in a notebook and it’s worth a lot.

I read every agreement of every contract. Anything I put my signature on, I really do read them. And I find things.

For me, revolution is around young people with no skills, college education, and coming from everywhere having an economic impact on an entire system which no one notices.

All we ever wanted was for Tupac to have the opportunity to tell his story.

That’s what people are who have that impact on us. They are ahead of their time. They can’t help it. They get put into a small, frail body, and they are given a light that is much too bright for that cavity.

When I carried Tupac, when I was five months pregnant they put me back in jail, my bail was revoked. When my bail was revoked, I was not allowed to have my own food. I could only have what was there.

Arts can save children, no matter what’s going on in their homes.

We cannot go anywhere with anger that we haven’t already been.

The critics never ever one time fairly criticized my son.

The worst thing that can happen to you is if you don’t take responsibility for what you did wrong.

Whatever else anyone says he was, he may have been. But Tupac really was a great American artist. The passage of time allows us to see things as they really are: We see the poetry; we see the personality; we see different sides.

I know that my son was an honest person and an honest artist, and what he gave from himself through his art was the depth of his humanity.

I learned that I can’t save the world, but I can help a child at a time.

I guess I just believe in Trixie Mattel, and I believe in the work. I don’t think I’m better than anybody else, but I really think that I’m hilarious and beautiful.

Faith is realizing that you always get what you need.

I cannot accept this invitation for I do not believe that the meaning of the Constitution was forever ‘fixed’ at the Philadelphia Convention… To the contrary, the government they devised was defective from the start. [Progressive]

One time a cop pulled me over for running a stop sign. He said, “Didn’t you see the stop sign?” I said, “Yeah, but I don’t believe everything I read”

In every position that I’ve been in, there have been naysayers who don’t believe I’m qualified or who don’t believe I can do the work. And I feel a special responsibility to prove them wrong.

Tell a man that there are 400 billion stars and he’ll believe you. Tell him a bench has wet paint and he has to touch it.

I don’t believe in quotas. America was founded on a philosophy of individual rights, not group rights.

Stand by what you believe in. People who mind won’t matter and people who matter won’t mind it.
