I won't talk about what it was like in prison, except to say I'm glad I'm out and that I plan never to go back and to pay my taxes every day.

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.

Have you ever noticed how quiet you get when you go in the woods? It's almost like you know that God's there.

I just don't want to die alone, that's all. That's not too much to ask for, is it It would be nice to have someone care about me, for who I am, not about my wallet.

I live in racist America and I'm uneducated, yet a lot of people love me and like what I do, and I can make a living from it. You can't do much better than that.

I was kicked out of school because of my attitude. I was not assimilating. So I went to work, taking any jobs I could get.

I think about dying. I've come to realize we all die alone in one way or another.
