TEXT VERSION:
Glynda: Do you remember finding that image and knowing it was going to be your first one?
Asia: Yes, because it was so much money, and it kind of represents to me, when I said how much is a life worth, it's kind of a question that can't be answered, kind of like, is there a God? I think there is a God, but people try and prove that there isn't and that there is a God, and it's kind of a question that can't be answered, how much is a life worth? Is it worth a thousand, a million, a billion? I don't know how much a life is worth actually, because it's kind of like saying, if a person dies, you can't just say to the parents of the person who dies, I'm gonna pay you a billion dollars to replace the person. So it's basically talking about the people who died in 9/11, who are getting killed in Oakland, because the crime rate is very high, and it's just a question, how much is life worth, of all these lives?
