When you're young, you're stupid. You do silly things. I did it (the O-Z-Z-Y tattoo across his knuckles) when I was 14. I was in jail for something. I could have had it removed, but why? It's my trademark. People stop me and say, 'Let me have a look at your hand.'

I always feel like I am on the dark side of the tracks. I feel I'm no good. I can't read.

Do you know what causes low voter turnout in America? It's the result of having the fate of our nation at stake.
