It's a no-win situation with politics, it's always going to be stressful. I'm more into the comedy of life.

Since we were renamed, and now it feels like 80 percent of the African-American population has the name Washington or Jefferson or some president or slave owner's name. And, I almost wonder is this, like, is this part of a way of taking back the principle of naming your - I might be going too far into this - but naming your kids something of your choice?

I look at racism as one of the social demons. And, in its worst, it's violent and it's a systemic commitment to oppression.

I think that human beings are the most awful monster we have ever seen.

As kids, there's somehow the fear that these bullies can end your life if they want to. Everything is blown up, and occasionally that kind of awful thing does happen.

I was raised that emotion was a good thing.

I can fathom anything, man. I love biting off more than I can chew and figuring it out.
