Opportunity People Giving

More From Queen Latifah

I'm a recording artist who's traveled around the world so i have different opportunities than other people and people may decide how i should use my opportunities because my opportunities are public whereas i can't decide how people should use their opportunities because their opportunities are private. that's what we're dealing with - people feeling like they should be able to control celebrities.

If the white man can come here uneducated and as an immigrant, and within 10 or 15 years set up an industry that provides job opportunities and educational opportunities for black people, then if the black man, the black leadership, who has access to all of this money and has all of these degrees today, can't use his talent and his know-how to set up business opportunities, job opportunities, housing opportunities for the black people the same as the white leaders have done for white people, then these black leaders need to get off the boat.

When i was a teenager, the way some of these kids out here be actively gay, it would have been ridiculed in the hood. and now the hood is a bit more accepting. begrudgingly accepting, but definitely more accepting than 20 years ago when i was a little kid. that doesn't mean that anybody should stop fighting for equality just because people are begrudgingly a little more accepting.

My role as the chair of the fashion department at parsons put me face to face with all the big designers, retailers, and editors. since i was moving in these new circles regularly, i realized i needed to do something about my own personal style. it was really diane von furstenberg who gave me the nudge.

I think that the heroism which at this day would make on us the impression of epaminondas and phocion must be that of a domestic conqueror. he who shall bravely and gracefully subdue this gorgon of convention and fashion, and show men how to lead a clean, handsome and heroic life amid the beggarly elements of our cities and villages; whoso shall teach me how to eat my meat and take my repose and deal with men, without any shame following, will restore the life of man to splendor, and make his own name dear to all history.

Sculpture is more divine, and more like nature, that fashions all her works in high relief, and that is sculpture. this vast ball, the earth, was moulded out of clay, and baked in fire; men, women, and all animals that breathe are statues, and not paintings.
