I wanted to raise the voice of a lot of the people that I knew growing up and this was for the most part poor people who had extraordinary dreams but also very amazing obstacles.
You have all these people in the city and everything has become centralized....
It's amazing that something only an atom thick can be an impenetrable...
The amazing thing now is that most of those so-called critics who were telling me to find my own voice seem to have lost theirs.
