Things Can Fall Apart, Or Threaten To,

A Senegalese Poet Said 'in The End We Will Conserve Only What We Love. We Love Only What We Understand, And We Will Understand Only What We Are Taught.' We Must Learn About Other Cultures In Order To Understand, In Order To Love, And In Order To Preserve Our Common World Heritage.

Things Can Fall Apart, Or Threaten To, For Many Reasons, And Then There's Got To Be A Leap Of Faith. Ultimately, When You're At The Edge, You Have To Go Forward Or Backward; If You Go Forward, You Have To Jump Together.

I Learn Something Not Because I Have To, But Because I Really Want To. That's The Same View I Have For Performing. I'm Performing Because I Really Want To, Not Because I Have To Bring Bread Back Home.

My Involvement In The Political Arena Is To Make Sure There's A Place For Culture.

Our Cultural Strength Has Always Been Derived From Our Diversity Of Understanding And Experience.
