The older we get the less afraid we are.

So much of life, it seems to me, is determined by pure randomness.

Okay listen, you think I'm so inconsequential? Then try this on for size. All those who see unworthiness when they look at me and are given thereby to denying me value - to you I say, I'm not talking about being AS GOOD as you. I hereby declare myself BETTER than you.

I was born two months early, and everyone had given up on me. But my mother insisted on my life.

I couldn't adjust to the racism in Florida.

I think the way I want to think. I live the way I want to live.

As a man, I've been representative of the values I hold dear. And the values I hold dear are carryovers from the lives of my parents.
