"I was weird. At 13, even younger than that, I would run around my house and pretend that Michael Myers was trying to kill me and I would make myself fall down the staircase and start screaming. The girls always broke their ankle in the movie, so I'd be crawling on the ground screaming and stuff. I was very artistic."- Meagan Good, King , July/Aug 2003
"Power is what the powerless want, they understand very well what we of the West want to keep, and are not deluded by our talk of a freedom that we have never been willing to share with them."- James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time, 1964
"The rebel mentality has transformed into thug mentality. But thug talk is laughable in a white society because thugs are only a threat to themselves.

"When I first picked this book up and began reading it, I can't front, I was ready to put it down.

"Let the end of your life find you climbing the next mountain, not sliding down another one." - Jim Rohn
" A woman wil never forget a man who's cooked for her, especially if he was the first - or the best. If you can cook it's llike having money." - Zsusi Gartner, she lives in Vancouver, Canada, Toro, June/July 2003
"There's nothing more important in the world than bringing a life into it. I mean, the world's a crazy fucking place, but it's also such a fucking beautiful place. The world is infinitely beautiful. And you just hope your child sees less of the other side of the coin.. I see shit everywhere I fucking look - I see people being nasty, I see bullies, I see death - but everywhere I look, I also see beauty and I see generosity. And I want my boy to see those things. I guess you want him to see both, sure, to see the good and the bad, but then you want for him to choose good." - Colin Farrell, Esquire, Sept. 2003
