Young ghetto boys thought that in this society, the good guys lost and the bad guys won.

In essence, I'm a sophisticated cotton picker.

When the people who are responsible for our country ask you a direct question, I expect them to accept a direct answer, not to be blackballed because you are telling the truth.

I never take anything for granted. I may slip any minute.

I don't wear my political feelings on my sleeve. However, if I'm asked, I will answer honestly.

I've always accepted applause as making me feel worthwhile. I hope I die being applauded. Just put a chaise longue under me and let me go.

Don't depend on other people to be responsible for you. Don't make yourself stressed out over nonsensical things like material things.
