When creative people are on to something, you know it and you have to allow it to happen. You can't set a schedule for that.

Any racism or barriers that may be put up, you get a tremendous sense of resistance. The more you push me, the greater I am. You can't hold me down. And the church helped me do that.

Note then: The weak conquer the strong, The yielding outlast the aggressors.
