The South is my home and I'm trapped in its stomach trying to get to its brain.

I think we naturally fight for our personal survival and for the ability to eat and do the things that can keep us alive, but to fight progress against something that is such a behemoth as what the centralized white ideology has produced is almost unthinkable. It's a really difficult task.

My relationship to photography and film is knowledge production, and it's how to engage with the world in a way that approximates the complexity of the world - not the desire to have an experience of it that makes you feel good or is just fundamentally narrative.

I intuitively knew about the problem with cinema and you're like, 'Oh, that's why. There's this thing called 'black representational space' that everything falls into.' Once it's in the this black representational space, everything is foreclosed to this meaning of blackness. It can't be about a greater humanity.

You know that old saying, 'A way to a man's heart is through his stomach' - that's me.

I'm the type of player that doesn't like to play on full stomach.

I carry a lot of my weight in my stomach. I just want to have... not even a number, but to have my body in a different shape.

I've never felt as nervous as I did before a track meet - literally, stomach going crazy - 'cause it was just so difficult.

I've always been trying to write songs that hit you in the stomach but ones that make people feel like things will be just fine.
