en If you copy, it means you're working without any real feeling. No two people on earth are alike, and it's got to be that way in music or it isn't music.
  Billie Holiday

en The first year, we had some guys that probably didn't want to be here, so that didn't help. This year, Coach Gibbs was just determined.

en We came in as a wind of peace and we are determined to do so, ... We didn't come in for power and we didn't come in for cover. We came in for a new initiative, and we are very serious and very determined to achieve it.

en My issue is race. I feel black people nowadays have to conform to this one ideal. We all have to be the same. We all have to be hard and ghetto and listen to only one genre of music which would be Rap and R&B. And if one of us steps out of the mold we're not black anymore. Well, that's dumb. When did music determine your racial background? Or a musical instrument? I can't believe the dumb things people say when you're doing something different. I mean, it would be ok if music and how you dress and act actually determined your race, but the last time I checked it was your genes that determined your color. And I think anyone who chooses to believe in this fabrication is ignorant. Isn't this what the Civil Rights Movement was about, equality? Didn't Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. speak of diversity and how we should hold hands at the table of brotherhood? Well how are you supposed to do this when we try to conform to this idea. Not conforming doesn't make you have less pride in your race but it's helping make a window of opportunities for your race. Well, as for me, I'm stepping out of the box and going forward to be who I am, and if people disagree, f**k them. I believe this will bring me closer to the goal that god ordained for me. And doing this doesn't mean I'm selling out my race, but it means I'm not selling out who I am.

en It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do.

  Henry David Thoreau

en Our argument is that when you buy a CD, you buy a license to listen to the music, not a piece of plastic, ... The music industry argues that consumers don't have a right to copy that piece of plastic.

en If, for instance, you purchase and download a CD, burn a copy and give it to a friend and that person puts it on a file sharing network, our system will trace that music back to you and, depending on the legal system of the country you're in, you could be [hit] with an expensive fine. This could certainly help deter online music piracy.

en During those days this group didn't go with the flow. We always went with this music ? the music that we love. It was a point of principle. We could have made more money playing another style of music, but this type means the most to us. We wanted to save this music. We kept it going and we still enjoy it.

en I think that if our music didn't mean anything to anyone, we wouldn't be having this conversation right now. I don't think that people would want to hear what I had to say if they didn't like our music. At the same time, I don't want people to just get away with just liking our music. They need to accept the baggage that comes along with it.
