If you want to change the culture, you will have to start by changing the organization.

If you're doing something outside of dominant culture, there's not an easy place for you. You will have to do it yourself.

Early on my career, I figured out that I just have to write the book I have to write at that moment. Whatever else is going on in the culture is just not that important. If you could get the culture to write your book, that would be great. But the culture can't write your book.

In order to be universal, you have to be rooted in your own culture.

There are lots of stories about my culture that I think bring a whole other perspective to who we are and where we have been and how we got here that I think need to be done.

The culture is just so coarse that you have to take it to that level and people will be like, 'Whoa!' And then you can make people think about stuff. It's kind of like shock therapy.

Culture is the process by which a person becomes all that they were created capable of being.

I don't think culture is something you can describe.

You have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn't work, don't buy it.

It is not just the Great Works of mankind that make a culture. It is the daily things, like what people eat and how they serve it.
