Select quotations from the book: "I believe that coincidence is key, but coincidence is energies coming towards each other. You have to be moving to meet it." "Life is collaboration. Where I think art can be sort of misguided is that it propagates this idea of itself as a solo love affair--one person, one idea, no one else involved." "Black influence has created a new ecosystem, which can grow and support different types of life that we couldnt before." "Like it or not, irrelevance is death."
