I believe in hard work and good people. I believe in an immense and honest love for life. I believe that art should resonate with an energy that not only stirs us awake, but also spurs us into action.
Most of us feel subject to forces that are beyond our control. Most of us are mistakenly guided by the doctrines of greed and fear.
I want to challenge the individual to be conscious of his or her own power and self-worth. Only when we release our captured spirits can we hope to bring real meaning to our lives. Only when we begin to inquire and observe inwardly will we take the first step towards addressing society's larger problems.
It's time for us to declare our personal revolutions. It's time for the bell to sound. It's time to fight the good fight. Join me.
