Being stuck is a position few of us like. We want something new but cannot let go of the old - old ideas, beliefs, habits, even thoughts. We are out of contact with our own genius. Sometimes we know we are stuck; sometimes we don't. In both cases we have to DO something. ↗

Some critics of my work took the view that a satirist should defer to the finer feelings of his readers and respect widely held beliefs. ↗

You always really have to remain consistent in your beliefs and philosophy. ↗

For too long, we have focused on our differences - in our politics and backgrounds, in our race and beliefs - rather than cherishing the unity and pride that binds us together. ↗
