The easy answer is to say that it's a part for black people to see black heroes, but to me it's important to young Mexican kids to see a black hero.

To me, when something is classic, whether it came out today or thirty years ago, it falls all in the same pot.

Blaxploitation films were black films targeting black people. They were films made to appeal to a culture in a way that was supposed to be unfiltered.

What really, really inspires me is that you don't see many black superheroes on television.

When you're composing for somebody, that means you have a boss. You have to do what it takes to, at the end of the day, appease them.

It's important for a young black kid to see a Mexican hero, just to know that we're all equal.

It's important to the world to see superheroes that are spread across our demographic.

When you get above the line, you're above the line. So my thing is I just want to make music where I am always above that line.

I try to make classics. I don't try to make things that aren't good. It's always a pleasure to see that people care about the kind of music I'm making.

When people score films, the job is to be visual. When people make music, it's about evoking feeling. It's great when you get both feelings and being out of their head.

I don't have any computers in my studio, it's all analog tape. All analog tape, all old equipment, I mean my mics are like from the 60's and early 70's, everything in there is old.

When everything is said and done, the only thing that really matters is the quality of the soul you build during the life you're given.

The greatest achievement of the human spirit is to live up to one's opportunities and make the most of one's resources.

The flesh of prose gets its shape and strength from the bones of grammar.

How you sound. How you look. Are you fat? Those are things that could be really irritating.

A mathematical proof is beautiful, but when you're finished, it's really only about one thing. A story can be about many things.

We start to try to live in tomorrow and the future, and start to think about what we build today as a stepping stone to graduate users.

High school isn't necessarily the best time of your life.

In my mind I still qualify as punk, though I know four out of five punks would disagree.

Something I would always remember. When you forget how bad it hurts, you feel so free.

The ballot box is a most inadequate mechanism of change.
