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

I am supposed to be, according to what I am told, one of the children of the cotton plantation owner's sons. If I could prove that, I'd own the whole goddamn everything.

The stage floor was a stage of thin ice for me to tread. To hold my own or to sink through and die, never to be remembered.

Thank God you've got a sense of humor, or you'd be in trouble.

In essence, I'm a sophisticated cotton picker.

I've never felt that fear is my enemy. Fear is my friend. It offers me a chance to stay alert, keep growing, continue creating something new. If you don't take that sort of risk, you learn nothing.

I love to tease men with my legs.
