Eat right and you can’t go wrong..

I don't like overt traditionalism..

One tires of combat, although I can still throw a punch, you know..

I love seeing things that work in the micro and work in the macro..

The worse they are the more they see beauty in each other..

The less seriously you take yourself, the better work you're going to do..

I don't really like ska..

Education isn't something you can finish.

I don't know about this thing - being famous. I haven't figured it out yet. It still mystifies me..

Just being from New York, that's something that you do - knowing how to dress..

I like things to reverberate, to be suggestive..

The panic attacks - I still have them. They started when I was around 8. They always have to do with my death.

I'm not just another bimbo..

In truth, I'm still slightly embarrassed to say, I am a poet. I'd rather say, I make poems..

The whites are the same everywhere. I see them every day..

Though very poor, may still be very blest..

But who has time to write memoirs? I’m still living my memoirs..

There are no rules. Let the picture lead you where it must go..

I've aged, but grown up? No..

I ain't from Africa. I'm from St. Louis..

For every time we regret keeping still, there are about ten times we regret speaking up..
