It's been a struggle for me because I had a chance to be white and refused.

Rosa Parks showed us all that one little person can make a whole bunch of noise without so much as a whisper. She showed the world that the color of your skin shouldn't determine what part of the bus you sit in... as you ride through life.

I believe in divine forces and energies.

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 see people as the nucleus of a great idea that hasn't come to be yet.

I don't want to go through life as a Wonder Wheel murderer!

You don't get to be old bein' no fool.
