06/09: AllHipHop.com Interviews Janelle Monae
AllHipHop.com's Clayton Perry has an interview with Janelle Monae, covering a myriad of topics.
AllHipHop.com: As more and more people become acquainted with Janelle Monáe, “the artist,” what would you like for them to know about Janelle Monáe, “the person”?
Janelle Monáe: I'm a doer. I don't really do a lot of talking, I guess. But I'm very interested in uniting. I want you to know that. The thing I love about the Android is that it represents the other. And that's why I connect with the Android. I think that we are going to live in a world with androids soon, because of the rapid advancement of technology. I think, though, that we'll need a mediator for the other and the majority, of the haves and the have nots, the oppressed and the oppressor. There's a saying in Metropolis, the movie, which inspired me. "The mediator between the mind and the hand is the heart." And I consider myself the heart.
