"There will be a wealth of facts revealed and revisited in [Underground] pertaining to Harriet Tubman.

That understanding is for the future, a time not long from now. You may live to see it. Then perhaps you can work openly, but for now, keep your gifts to yourself. Never flaunt your abilities. Never think you hold the power of life and death. Only God has that power. When it's a person's time, nothing can save them.”

But it was painted on the same level and with the same urgency that you would see in a grand-scale [Anthony] van Dyck or [Diego] Velazquez. The composition was classically informed; the painting technique was masterful. And it was something that really inspired me because, you know, these were images of young, black men in painting on the museum walls of one of the more sanctified and sacred institutions in Los Angeles.”
“Don't corral me, and I'll always come home. Just let me go out and play during the day.”
“I've been trying to write really simple songs to make them sound like they're coming out of a satellite that's crashing into a gas giant or something.”
“If we should be saved and become saints, we ought always to stand at the gates of the Divine mercy to beg and pray for, as an alms, all that we need.”
