A Quote by Bebe Moore Campbell
I have to entertain, because if I don't entertain you, you're not going to continue reading. But if I'm not out to enlighten, or change your mind about something, or change your behavior, then I really don't want to take the journey.

I try to do what I call the three E's - educate, entertain, and enlighten. If you don't entertain, no one will show up.

I wonder where you got that idea from? I mean, the idea that it's feeble to change your mind once it's made up. That's a wrong idea, you know.

your world, you can change your mind and change your life.
Things happen very quickly and they have to happen quickly in order to have vitality, which I think is essentially part of a good pot. But in addition it means that you can explore an idea and change it and then change it and then change it; I don't mean by changing the one pot, but you make one pot then you make another that's related to that; you make another - you can make 50 pots in a day and none of them are going to be carbon copies of any other, but they'll all be related because there's something going through your mind about the form on that particular day.

There are a lot of things to be done in that world that actually have an impact on our daily lives.
It's good to be aware that a certain amount of fear is going to accompany every change in your life - a change for the worse or a change for the better.
