Oh cat, i'd say, or pray: be-ootiful cat! delicious cat! exquisite cat! satiny cat! cat like a soft owl, cat with paws like moths, jewelled cat, miraculous cat! cat, cat, cat, cat.

Me, i want to bloody kick this moronic bloody world in the bloody teeth over and over till it bloody understands that not hurting people is ten bloody thousand times more bloody important than being right.

A revolution is bloody, but america is in a unique position. she's the only country in history in a position actually to become involved in a bloodless revolution. the russian revolution was bloody, chinese revolution was bloody, french revolution was bloody, cuban revolution was bloody, and there was nothing more bloody then the american revolution. but today this country can become involved in a revolution that won't take bloodshed. all she's got to do is give the black man in this country everything that's due him, everything.

For three years between 16 and 19 i was the opening-act-for-the-opening-act-for-the-opening-act, you know? and then i was on tour with ice-t, stetsasonic, epmd, sir mix-a-lot--legends--and went on to sell 160 million records. it still baffles me.

I have been one who believes that abortion is the taking of a human life . . . . the fact that they could not resolve the issue of when life begins was a finding in and of itself. if we don't know, then shouldn't we morally opt on the side that it is life? if you came upon an immobile body and you yourself could not determine whether it was dead or alive, i think that you would decide to consider it alive until somebody could prove it was dead. you wouldn't get a shovel and start covering it up. and i think we should do the same thing with regard to abortion.

I've always thought new year's day was an especially american tradition, full of the optimism and hope we're famous for in our daily lives -- an energy and confidence we call the american spirit. perhaps because we know we control our own destiny, we believe deep down inside that working together we can make each new year better than the old.

As long as we observe love for others and respect for their rights and dignity in our daily lives, then whether we are learned or unlearned, whether we believe in the buddha or god, follow some religion or none at all, as long as we have compassion for others and conduct ourselves with restraint out of a sense of responsibility, there is no doubt we will be happy.

Politically i also don't believe anymore that we can only have one voice to a story, it's like having one radio station to represent a country. you want the politics of any complicated situation to be complicated in a book of fiction or nonfiction.
