“My government currently runs things only because the people 'allow' them to run things. It is my responsibility that I do everything I can to keep tabs on my government, keep them honest and make sure that they always act for the good of the people. They must be reminded that they hold no power over the people that the people do not wish for them to hold. If the government begins working in a way that the people don't agree with, they must be made to know that we will rip it to its very foundations and replace it with something that does.” PeopleIfsKnowsWayDoeMadeI CanGovernmentRunningPoliticsWishResponsibilityHonestAgreeFoundationRip Author:Derek R.

“My music teacher was like, "Ester, you need to pay attention in class." I'm like, "No miss lady, 'cause I can sing." I didn't want anybody to change the way I sung. I learned by gospel CDs and by watching my momma sing; I didn't need this teacher to tell me. I wish I had, because then I would have learned how to play the damn piano or something. I would have a couple of more things under my belt if I wasn't so hard-headed.” IfsWayWantNeedsI CanHardPlayWishCausesPayAttentionClassTeacherMissingCouplePay AttentionDamnPianoBeltsCdsMommaMusic TeacherMy Momma Author:Ester Dean
“I also remember when I watched Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer [1990] at, like, age 15. That scared the crap out of me. Because it didn't operate inside the usual conventions of the horror genre in the way that I could accept. I can accept horny teenager counselors being murdered at camp. But I couldn't accept the derangement of Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, which was that anyone could be murdered at any moment - whole families, with no build-up music and no meaning. It terrified me.” WayI CanWholeMomentsAgeRememberAcceptingHorrorScaredTeenagerGenreCampsUsualConventionsKillersCrapPortraitsTerrifiedRemember WhenSerialsSerial KillerWhole FamilyHornyCounselorHorror Genre Author:Christopher Bollen
“Honestly, live is my favorite way of performing. Every show is a completely different energy. With recording, it's not really as organic as it can be.
