I come from a great family. I've seen family life and I know how wonderful, how nurturing, and how wonderful it can be.

Every new fashion is a form of rebellion.

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.

In my case, the body of work stands for itself... I think my work has been representative of me as a man.

I decided in my life that I would do nothing that did not reflect positively on my father's life.

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

You don't have to become something you're not to be better than you were.
