I wore the gold for some reasons. One, as a Christian.When Jesus was born wise men bring him gold.No wise man brought bling. Bling is not in The Bible.

I was mischievous. I wasn't bad. I stole food so we could eat. My mother didn't know. I used to tell her some man gave me $10 to sweep out the yard. I was like Robin Hood. I took from the rich and gave to the poor. Me.

When I was growing up, my family was so poor we couldn't afford to pay attention.

I got no time for the jibba-jabba.

Calvin Klein and Gloria Vanderbilt don't wear clothes with your name on it, so why should you wear their name?

God is on my side, and that's all I need. I get up in the morning, I pray to God. I don't pray to the president, the governor, the mayor, no black caucus, no this and that. I pray to God, and that's the end of it.

My mother told me that niceness and kindness goes a long way.
