I'm A Badass. I Really Am. When

We Were Raised With That Discussion About Violence And Non-violence, And We All Pretty Much Came Up On The Side Of Non-violence. That Became My Foundation With Politics And My Livelihood.

People Say I'm Such A Pessimist, But I Always Was. It Never Stopped Me From Doing What I Had To Do. I Would Say I'm A Realist.

I Didn't Study Anything Really. I Didn't Learn Out Of The Books Because I Couldn't Read Music Very Well, So It Is What They Say It Is - You Learn From Other People. And My Cohorts And I Would Sneak Around The Coffee Shops And Hear Stuff We Wanted To Learn, And Then You Ask Whoever Was Playing It To Teach You.

There Are Good Guys, And There Are Congressional People Who Are Good Guys, And I Certainly Vote In Those Elections. You Know, My Fondest Dream Would Be If Obama, When He Got Out Of Office, Decided He Was Going To Go Back And Organize On The Streets. He'd Be The Only Person I Could Imagine Who Could Really Create A Movement Similar To What King Did, And God Knows We Need That Now.

The Easiest Kind Of Relationship For Me Is With Ten Thousand People. The Hardest Is With One.
