A Quote by Rahsaan Roland Kirk

I smoke pot because I want to go to heaven before I die
Because you’re the one. Because I’ve never felt for anyone what I feel for you. I want a lifetime with you, Abigail. I want a home with you, family with you.

I want to get out of the way of the actors. I want to get out of their eye lines. I want to them to stop thinking they're making a movie. I want them to just go and live.

Before you have kids, you're like, 'I hope I don't die on this plane,' or, 'I hope I don't die crossing the street.' It's all me, me, me. 'What do I want to eat? What do I want to do?'

I don't think people realize why weaves and the cultural appropriation of black hairstyles are so sensitive. It's deep-rooted.
