I could have died because I was born with asthma and bronchitis.

I was in and out of the hospital as an infant, a baby, under oxygen tents all the time.

Like something was trying to kill me so I would not grow up to do all of this great work that I've done and created.

Well, look, we all come from the earth, the dirt of the earth, from the dirt of the earth.

I don't know if you knew that, but when we eat vegetables and we eat the food, the food grows in the earth.

So our bodies are created from the earth.

And so when we die, the natives would bury you up.

And what happened was they would heist and have you up.

Your body would turn back to dust and the wind would come and blow it back to the dirt from where it came from the earth.

Now,

The people they bury in boxes.

And putting people in boxes, to me, and burning up people, burning up bodies, you know, that is crazy to me.

Because the boxes turn back into the dirt, and the bodies inside the boxes turn into the dirt.

But putting the bodies in the dirt is just going to turn it back to the dirt from where it came from.

So the earth is important to us because we are part of the earth.

And the food that we eat comes from the earth.

We're here to make a difference.

We're here to make changes.

We're here to do good and do well.

We're not here to do evil.
