More quotes by Saul Williams
The downfall of the industry seems to actually be good for art. I think the industry will find their way once the focus shifts from its greed-based origins, downsizes, and begins to support creative visions that speak to our times and shifting ideals.
Saul Williams
It was always important to me to be that kid who could rock the party as well as rock the English professor's mind.
Saul Williams
Dying is something you have no control over. Why waste your life being afraid of it?
Saul Williams
I'm a very sensitive person at times. Not just to words that anybody says, but in relationships for example, the people that you open up to, you listen to, you hear - you know? So a lot of times, the key to some of my vulnerability is just through things, simple things - or critiques or whatever - or could be very simple things that are said.
Saul Williams
The only reason I've been so critical of hip-hop is because I've always been aware of the effect that it has, and the reflection that it gives of the African-American community.
Saul Williams
I have offered myself to the inkwell of the wordsmith that I might be shaped into new terms of being.
Saul Williams
I feel pretty vulnerable all the time.
Saul Williams
Why shouldn't rap be esoteric, able to take in current events, history and criticism? I guess it's this old idea of containment - that rappers, because they're black, can't and shouldn't aspire to look outside the ghetto for influence.
Saul Williams
I have a very family-like connection to hip-hop, which is why it frustrates me so much.
Saul Williams
I'm somewhat of an empath, I would say. I relate easily to ideas and stories, books, films, music. I'm moved by all of these things. Art in general. But not just art, you know?
Saul Williams
I can't say that I always want to get out of bed, you know.
Saul Williams
The music aids the message, it's there to punctuate and abbreviate and shape the silence
Saul Williams
American culture is often so self-consumed that we often think that our problems are just our problems.
Saul Williams
If not then you must be trying to hear us and in such cases we cannot be heard. We remain in the darkness, unseen. In the center of unpeeled bananas, we exist. Uncolored by perception. Clothed to the naked eye. Five senses cannot sense the fact of our existence. And that's the only fact. In fact, there are no facts.
Saul Williams
Hip-hop is still cool at a party. But to me, hip-hop has never been strictly a party it is also there to elevate consciousness.
Saul Williams
I was always making up rhymes. But I never thought that poetry would become my life.
Saul Williams
A lie preserved in stained glass doesn't make it more true.
Saul Williams
There is nothing more negligent than attempting to address a problem one finds on a branch than by censoring the leaves.
Saul Williams
What's wrong with hip-hop is the system that controls the definition of it. There needs to be more balance on the airwaves.
Saul Williams
I remember back in the day when Chuck D called hip-hop the black people's CNN. Well now, hip-hop is more like Fox News. It's biased, and highly suspect.
