When I was elected President nobody asked me to negotiate between Israel and Egypt. It was not even a question raised in my campaign. But I felt that one of the reasons that I was elected President was to try to bring peace to the Holy Land.
For KRS-One, I have a specific sound - sparse drums and bass. I try to steer away from elaborate productions.
Part of the elasticity that you need, in order to continue to try to create, is the foregone conclusion that not all of it is going to be fabulously successful. But it's all going to be part of a long lifetime body of experimentation.
I try not to break the rules but merely to test their elasticity.
My strength is my wrestling, but I don't focus on it as much. I try to focus on a lot of different things like knees, elbows, submissions, and submission defense - just a lot of different things.

I would love to do an electronic record. There's just so much to see and do and try. And life goes by.
If only for the sake of elegance, I try to remain morally pure.

I try to make films, not movies. I've never liked the expression 'movie', but it sounds elitist to say that.
My approach has never been to start from theories to arrive at facts, but on the contrary, to try to bring out from the facts the explanatory thread without which they appear incomprehensible and elude effective action.

Elves live in harmony with the world, and I try to do that.
To try to prey on athletes' livelihoods while one is going through a tough time is embarrassing to me.
I think I'm a living embodiment of, 'Don't try to push me around or squash me,' whether its how I talk to a record label or in my relationships.
I actually did try to emigrate to Australia a long time ago.
I really do try not to emote. I don't like seeing it on documentaries - it seems a bit unprofessional. I also need to be human being and be a kind of sympathetic presence for the contributors I'm with, so there' a line you have to walk.
I try not to obfuscate or to be to obscure or to be too cerebral. I like to work on a visceral, emotional level.
