“Nothing is more dangerous than to stop working. It is a habit that can soon be lost, one that is easily neglected and hard to resume. A measure of day-dreaming is a good thing, like a drug prudently used ... But too much submerges and drowns. Woe to the intellectual worker who allows himself to lapse wholly from positive thinking into day-dreaming. He thinks he can easily change back, and tells himself that it is all one. He is wrong! To substitute day-dreaming for thought is to confuse poison with a source of nourishment.” ThinkingHardDreamUsedLostToo MuchDangerousPositive ThinkingSourceHabitDrugIntellectualGood ThingsWorkersPoisonWorking ItSubstitutesWoeNeglectedNourishmentResumesLapsesLost Ones Author:Victor Hugo

“I thought that the R&B / Hip-Hop world really hasn't been explored on film and there's some issues that we're going through right now.

You know, R&B used to be a safe place for women and now it just seems like the songs coming out are so angry but also what women have to come out with. You have to get noticed.
