What does a political revolution look like? it means that 80 percent of the people vote in national elections, not 40 percent. it means that billionaires can't make unlimited campaign contributions and buy and sell politicians. it means that the u.s. government represents the needs of all the people, not just the 1 percent and their lobbyists.

The white man knows what a revolution is. he knows that the black revolution is worldwide in scope and in nature. the black revolution is sweeping asia, is sweeping africa, is rearing its head in latin america. the cuban revolution - that's a revolution. they overturned the system. revolution is in asia, revolution is in africa, and the white man is screaming because he sees revolution in latin america. how do you think he'll react to you when you learn what a real revolution is?

When i go up there, i see coal lobbyists, oil lobbyists, natural gas lobbyists, nuclear power lobbyists, somehow they think that's where the action is in congress.
Thinking Oil Lobbyists
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.

The reality is we that have a corrupt campaign finance system which separates the american people's needs and desires from what congress is doing. so to my mind, what we have got to do is wage a political revolution where millions of people have given up on the political process, stand up and fight back, demand the government that represents us and not just a handful of campaign contribution - contributors.

A revolution is bloody. revolution is hostile. revolution knows no compromise. revolution overturns and destroys everything that gets in its way. and you, sitting around here like a knot on the wall, saying, “i’m going to love these folks no matter how much they hate me.” no, you need a revolution. whoever heard of a revolution where they lock arms, as reverend cleage was pointing out beautifully, singing “we shall overcome”? just tell me. you don’t do that in a revolution. you don’t do any singing; you’re too busy swinging.
Wall Hate Singing
Inequality also distorts our democracy. it gives an outsized voice to the few who can afford high-priced lobbyists and unlimited campaign contributions, and runs the risk of selling out our democracy to the highest bidder. and it leaves everyone else rightly suspicious that the system in washington is rigged against them - that our elected representatives aren't looking out for the interests of most americans.

The delineation between the actor and his part is a practical matter. when the camera runs, you want the actor to be the character.

I would love to see what's going to happen with science fiction with peoples' heads, because we still have people running around in the year 2050 or 2100 or 2200 and they have incredible technology and you see the effects: laser beams and rays and beaming down and beaming up. incredible technical things happening, but everybody is still running around jealous, fighting, whacking, cheating. there's got to be something going on! some kind of change. i'd like to see something starting to happen in that area, with the psychology of the human being and how that changed.

I'm angry that the private sector, which is supposed to be in charge of running gasoline into the valley, doesn't have its act together to deal with a critical situation, so now the public sector has to step in.
