Clutch: What is your definition of a man?
Saul Williams: Um…I think that a man is someone that is fully willing to take on the responsibility of power and realizing that that responsibility is not expressed necessarily through force but through a careful balance of strength and vulnerability. A man is someone that can listen as well as he can instruct. Someone that can receive as well as he can give, someone who is unafraid to feel and express what he feels as well as ridicule and anger. A balanced man understands the need for nurturing qualities within himself that may be deemed as feminine as well as those which come easily and come with masculine meaning. Yes, he can be the aggressor, he can also sit quiet and listen and learn. Yes he can fight and stand up and be strong. But he can also hug his child and tell his child that he loves him and hold his hand and cross the street and not tell him that he’s a punk for crying. The goal is a balanced man. A man that realizes that he does not have to be clouded by weed or alcohol or any of these things. He can be just enthralled with being alive and realize his capacity for his spiritual being. It all has a lot to do with responsibility.
