I couldn't adjust to the racism in Florida.

I have always been a learner because I knew nothing.

I set my star so high that I would constantly be in motion toward it.

I'm going to quit writing.

If I'm remembered for having done a few good things and if my presence here has sparked some good energies, that's plenty.

So it's been kind of a long road, but it was a good journey altogether.

So I had to be careful. I recognized the responsibility that, whether I liked it or not, I had to accept whatever the obligation was. That was to behave in a manner, to carry myself in such a professional way, as if there ever is a reflection, it's a positive one.
