Don't ever empty the bucket of mystery. Never let people define what you do. It's not about zigging when you should zag. It's not about doing something unprecedented and unpredictable. It's just about never being a word, or something that is not in the process of transformation.
May you prosper, grow, advocate and get under people’s skins.
We need to stop saying we can't rock this boat when it needs to be rocked.
All real change requires risk. You must take risks every day of your life. You must get up each morning and ask...: What can I do that is different?
I have this natural want to... when things sound very easy and straightforward, something inside me always makes me want to take a left turn. If it comes to me and it's too simple, there has to be a more complicated route. I will complicate things like that at times.
Only the guy who isn't rowing has time to rock the boat.
In all life one should comfort the afflicted, but verily, also, one should afflict the comfortable, and especially when they are comfortably, contentedly, even happily wrong.
If an expert says it can't be done, get another expert.
I don't accept what people say. I took something to be copied recently, to be enlarged and blown up, and they said it couldn't be done, and I went somewhere five minutes away, and they did it.
Don't accept what's out there because that is all that's out there. Look for the new and unusual. Seek out what you genuinely want to read and don't settle.
It's to be a person who's able to shoot little arrows into sacred cows and knock politicians off their pedestals, to look out for hypocrisy, advocate for all sorts of things from social justice to peace.
Strive to be different and better than what is already out there if you are creating - Benjamin Clementine does that.
If you have something to say, especially that's different and needed, then do it.
I think I can change the game.
Most rules that you think are written in stone are just societal. You can change the game and really reach for the stars and make the world a better place.
