There's a lot more hypocrisy than before. Racism has gone back underground.

I bought my parents a home before they died, and they got to see that I was going to be all right. They always thought I would go someplace.

It's so much easier for me to talk about my life in front of two thousand people than it is one-to-one. I'm a real defensive person, because if you were sensitive in my neighborhood you were something to eat.

I realized this is what God has dealt me, and I should be thankful considering all that's happened to me in my life, but MS caused the movies to stop - stop dead - and I miss it.

I never met anybody who said when they were a kid, I wanna grow up and be a critic.

I became a performer because it was what I enjoyed doing.

Sure, I have friends, plenty of friends, and they all come around wantin' to borrow money. I've always been generous with my friends and family, with money, but selfish with the important stuff like love.
