I like to think of ideas as potential energy. They're really wonderful, but nothing will happen until we risk putting them into action.
I have to take it as a given that I have got a certain ability to do something. I can be an artist, which is take something and transform it into another thing. I can just see something, and I can see my painting.
Voting is like alchemy - taking an abstract value and breathing life into it.
That which seems the height of absurdity in one generation often becomes the height of wisdom in another.
More than anything for me, making music is about taking nothing and making something.
Directing is so dope to me, man, 'cause it doesn't necessarily have to be your material. You're making someone else's material come to life. There's something amazing about that.
What I feel is that true creation happens when you're making something out of nothing - like it's divine, you know. Creation is a completely divine concept.
Sometimes things are nothing on paper, but a genius director turns it into something amazing.
