"If you even talk about the world outside the US to a lot of Americans it's as if your reminding them of something they don't want reminding of. 'Cos it fucks with all their myths of self-improvement and that whole ostrich thing of sticking your head in the sand telling yourself everything's getting better, when above ground everything's falling apart. It's not just that some Americans think the States is the only country in the universe. It's as if the rest of the world is an invention." ~ RZA (Wu Tang Clan)
Music
"Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything." ~ Plato
Movies
“Every country gets the circus it deserves. Spain gets bullfights. Italy gets the Catholic Church. America gets Hollywood.” ~ Erica Jong
Television
"I believe television is going to be the test of the modern world, and that in this new opportunity to see beyond the range of our vision, we shall discover a new and unbearable disturbance of the modern peace, or a saving radiance in the sky. We shall stand or fall by television - of that I am quite sure." ~ E.B. White
Heroes
"In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him for then it costs nothing to be a patriot." ~ Mark Twain

Who I'd like to meet:
"The underlying goal of the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network is to end poverty and ignorance. Our appointments to become United Nations Goodwill
Ambassadors to end Poverty and Malnutrition will significantly enhance HSAN's global reach to further fulfill our mission. We're going to help save lives. We will not be silenced in the face of the awful fact that more than 40,000 people die every day from malnutrition and poverty. That is unacceptable to the hip-hop community." ~ Russell Simmons
