Funk, I don't think I have anything to do with funk. I've never considered myself funky.

I never really had much of an interest in fashion.

I think Lindsay Kemp really introduced me to the work of Jean Genet, and through that, I kind of kept re-educating myself about other prose writers and poets.

I can ask for cigarettes in every language

Don't let me hear you say life takes you nowhere, angel.

I probably also wanted to be black at that particular time [ 9 years old] as well.

Illusion I will be, for I've never been a sinner.
