More From Russell Simmons

There's a heartbeat in any country that carries on regardless - at least in europe. that's what worries me about america, because i'm not sure what that heartbeat is - unless it's the heartbeat of someone who's just arrived, who just ran over the border two weeks ago.

But most love poetry is awful; nobody knows how to write good love poetry either. but that's not a reason not to write love poetry. some of the best poetry ever written has been love poetry, and some of the greatest poetry ever written has been political poetry.
Good Love Writing Political
Poetry is the most informative of all of the arts because everything comes down to poetry. no matter what it is we are describing, ultimately we use either a metaphor; or we say "that's poetry in motion." you drink a glass of wine and say, "that's poetry in a bottle." everything is poetry, so i think we come down to emotional information. and that's what poetry conveys.
Art Wine Emotional
There's no difference between lyrics and poetry. words are words. the only difference is the people who are in academic positions and call themselves poets and have an academic stance. they've got something to lose if they say it's all poetry; if there's not music to it, and you have to wear a certain kind of checkered shirt or something like that. it's all the same. lyrics are lyrics, poetry is poetry, lyrics are poetry, and poetry is lyrics. they are interchangeable to me.

I know there's some poetry that sort of sounds like daisies, but most of the good poetry is also [political], you can feel the heartbeat; it's about some situation that concerns human beings under duress. it's suggesting a solution, or just acknowledging that [the situation] exists. art does that.
Art Political Duress
The divine comedy is a political poem and when you say poetry is not about - he's always quoted out of context, that "poetry makes nothing happen," that doesn't mean you shrug your shoulders and don't try to make anything happen. and dante felt that poetry was engaged, there was a point of view; it's not my point of view, it's orthodox medieval christianity, and i have my troubles with that. he didn't feel that you could just rule out so important a section of life - we care about these things, and it's out of caring about them that we write poetry.

Part of me becomes the characters i'm writing about. i think readers feel like they are there, the way i am, as a result.
Writing Character Thinking
I'd always loved movies, but it wasn't some sort of desperate love of celluloid. it was literally like, "i want to write things, and i want people to see them more."
Writing People Want
When you get an idea, so many things come in that one moment. you could write the sound of that idea, or the sound of the room it's in. you could write the clothes the character is wearing, what they're saying, how they move, what they look like. instead of making up, you're actually catching an idea, for a story, characters, place, and mood - all the stuff that comes. when you put a sound to something and it's wrong, it's so obvious. when it's right, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. that's a magical thing that can happen in cinema.
Moving Writing Character
It is possible to have a pretty good life and career being a leech and a parasite in the media world, gadding about from tv studio to tv studio, writing inconsequential pieces and having a good time.
