We need more leadership at every level: federal, state, and local.

My favorite novel ever is Abraham Verghese's 'Cutting for Stone.' It takes you so many places. I stayed up to 4 in the morning to finish it.

Photographers do more assignments than reporters do, so they know their communities better.

The heart of 'Truevine' is about the travails of two strong black women who agitate to get justice for their family.

Even though I'm a hype man myself, I like the practicality of it all. People who understand how to turn a profit. At the end of the day, this is still business so I'm looking for real practical knowledge of how to actually make money, not necessarily raise it.

Everyone has to earn their money one way or the other.

The loss of wealth is loss of dirt, as sages in all times assert; The happy man's without a shirt.

This society cannot go forward, the way we have been going forward, where the gap between the rich and the poor keeps growing. It's not politically viable; it's not morally right; it's just not going to happen.
