To simply wake up every morning a better person than when I went to bed.

I was not the kind of a principal player that was so in demand that eight or 10 or 12 scripts came per month.

I couldn't adjust to the racism in Florida. It was so blatant... I had never been so described as Florida described me.

I sometimes like the pictures photographers take of me.

I was fortunate enough to have been raised to a certain point before I got into the race thing. I had other views of what a human is, so I was never able to see racism as the big question. Racism was horrendous, but there were other aspects to life.

I wouldn't change a single thing, because one change alters every moment that follows it.

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.
