I am adamant that we must not cut back on funding of the teaching of the arts in the schools: music, painting, theater, dance, all of it. The great thing about the arts is that the only way you learn how to do it is by doing it.

As a digital creator, there's been so much pressure to write a book because so many of my peers have done it. I've been very adamant about saying, No! I don't want to release a book just for the sake of writing a book. I'm going to write a book when I feel like I have something to say in a book.

James Shabazz said to me with a shrug, you just didn't know Malcolm. Malcolm was adamant, and that whatever Malcolm wanted, that's what we just did.

Learning to play old instruments was a challenge. How do you learn an instrument no one has played in hundreds of years?

I wanted my voice to come through, not someone else's.
