The first-born in every family is always dreaming for an imaginary older brother or sister who will look out for them.

When I say, 'I don't care what white people think,' I mean that.

God has a sense of humor though and he must see funny things in us. He must also have some love. We're still here and there are still great things that go on. There are great doctors who discover how to separate twins and how to put together a human being to walk again after it's said he won't. Those are all there as signs.
