I am not a black artist, I am an artist.-Jean Michel Basquiat

I start a picture and I finish it. I don’t think about art while I work. I try to think about life.
-Jean Michel Basquiat

I was a really lousy artist as a kid. Too abstract expressionist, or I’d draw a ram’s head, really messy. I’d never win painting contests. I remember losing to a guy who did a perfect spiderman.

“I make a film like I cook for friends. I hope they like it, but if they don’t, I’m prepared to enjoy it all by myself.”-Melvin Van Peebles

So the point being here, when we first were discovering Rastafari – like any young men or any young women getting into anything – you’re overzealous. Back in 1988, I might have been saying, “Fire burn…” I’m 25 years old! You’ve got to understand that I’m a young man growing, getting into something. Now I’m 46 years old and I’ve learned that that’s ignorant. I’ve learned through the years that we’re all God’s children, regardless of your race, creed, color, sexuality, any of that- HR of Bad Brains
