Quote

At one level you're condemned to the voice you have. But within those confines, you have a certain amount of freedom to range among your possible voices.

I feel a real sense of duty to use the voice and the platform I've been afforded by my fame to speak out for those whose voices don't get a chance to be heard.

I want my voice to have purpose.

I'm grateful that, after an early life of being silenced, sometimes violently, I grew up to have a voice, circumstances that will always bind me to the rights of the voiceless.

I would rather be without a state than without a voice.

I feel like I have to have a voice.

I don't consciously do anything to maintain a unique voice.

I don't want to play a voice.

I want people to be able to give their voice.

I want to be the voice of the people; black, white, everyday, oppressed people. A person trying to make it and to do it right.
