"I would love to do a film in Africa."

--

Judi Shekoni

“I've met so many amazing fans in the couple of weeks since the release of my second album, and everyone keeps telling me they feel so connected to the record. I think as an artist, all you really want out of your album is to feel like you're not alone.Because you wrote it for a reason. You wrote it because you're feeling some kind of emotion that you had to get out in the world. And if fans say, "that makes me feel like I'm not alone", then you get to say back to them, "Well, you telling me that makes me feel like I'm not alone either".”
“I've managed to include only enough historical detail to give the "flavor" of the time period while keeping the characters and story focal.”
“[Statists] believe that government should make decisions for individuals. Since individuals usually prefer to make their own decisions, coercion and compulsion become necessary correctives.”
“Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.”
“A library is the only single place you can go to learn something new, be comforted, terrified, thrilled, saddened, overjoyed, or excited all in one day. And for free.”
“We do not need the praises of a Homer, or of anyone else whose words may delight us for the moment, but the estimation of facts will fall short of what is really true.”
“Cultures and climates differ all over the world, but people are the same. Theyâ€™ll gather in public if you give them a good place to do it.”
“What is often called exceptional ability is nothing more than persistent endeavor.”
