I'm always tryin' to do something new, tryin' to look like a beginner.
From Meshell Ndegeocello
I just try to tell a story with a song, and be able to try to transmit the emotion to you. That's all I'm really trying to do.
Any ideas of 'other' are complicated, and otherness is relative to personal ideas of 'normal.'
Yes, violence begets more violence, but historically this has been the way of the world.
I think leaders are incapable of the strength that passive resistance entails.
I joke that a person of color would never make a movie like 'Midnight in Paris.' Nostalgia isn't so enticing.
I'm pushing ahead on my own - you no longer need a large record company to make you a star.
I think secretly I've realized after my time on the planet that I have no control over what people feel about me or need from me, so I just have a more laid-back approach in my apologies.
There's no hierarchy in suffering. I think songs that are transcendent are the ones where everyone can feel something from it, you know?
It's interesting to do other people's music - that's how I learned to play, by learning other people's songs. It's nice to delve into how other people got to where they are.
