Quote by Tom Hillman

“That noise you are hearing, drowning out
the blows of life, is the wind touching the fronds of the thirty or so eighty-foot-tall palm trees encircling the centrally located swimming pool. You have fun thinking this sound might be the Holy Spirit.”

“En los ochenta, aún se escuchaban guitarras en las discotecas e incluso cuando sonaban esos niñatos de Hombres G, por más que arrugáramos la nariz con mohín despectivo, no podíamos dejar de corear que quiero comprarme un jersey a rayas. Entonces ()La música aún podía salvarnos. Fue justo antes de que se pusiera en marcha la trituradora de emociones, la mákina, la electrónica, el house, el trance, los miles de nombres para aludir a la victoria del frío.”

“Not long after that, the questions came: Why you? Drag had been around forever. Why had I been able to crack the code after so many false starts and almosts? But I knew they would never understand the delicate choreography I’d done to make it all work. I’d mastered the art of naughty-lite: two spoonfuls of Diana Ross, a pinch of Cher, a shake of Dolly Parton, all sealed with Walt Disney’s family-friendliness. Before, I had been blurry—confusing, a thing that only some people could understand. Finally, I had snapped into focus, just in time for the whole world to see. The eighties, with all its excess and opulence, had also been marred by darkness: the heaviness of crack cocaine, the AIDS epidemic, the crashes of S&Ls in the markets. There was a yearning for levity in the culture, the very same irreverence and sense of play that had animated me my whole life. A window opened. I stepped through it.”

“Even during the most solitary of creative missions, we are never alone. As we learn to trust the value of our own inner threads, we also start to understand that it’s not just the threads within us that are gold, so too are those within each person on the face of the earth. We also come to know, whether we at first understand it or not, that all our threads are part of the same interconnected story.”

“When we find people who are willing to talk about their own journeys of feeling called, of navigating their messy closets of pain and potential, of discovering their own creative sparks, suddenly we realize that our creative adventure is not a journey for one, but for One. This realization can be incredibly healing, not just for each of us personally, but also for the world.”
