Anything you read can influence your work, so I try to read good stuff.

Things are rough all over.

I am a greaser. I am a JD and a hood. I blacken the name of our fair city. I beat up people. I rob gas stations. I am a menace to society. Man do I have fun!

I lie to myself all the time. But I never believe me.

You know a guy a longtime, and I mean really know him, you don't get used to the idea that he's dead just overnight.

Y'all were heroes from the beginning. You just didn't 'turn' all of a sudden

I made up my mind that I'd get out of that place and I didI learned that if you want to get somewhere, you just make up your mind and work like hell til you get there. If you want to go somewhere in life, you just have to work till you make it.
