I did this campaign that was called "Back to the Basics" where I went back to the street, went back to my block, and really felt the people. We've got to go back to that sometimes. We distance ourselves from that and we see it from afar. Some people can't relate back to that; once you're out of it, they don't want to relate back to that.

The next day, the dream will continue.
You've got to reach towards a better language, and you're not going to make it up from scratch; you've got to reach back into the tradition.
