I'm self-made. I always wanted to make myself a better person, because I was not educated. But that was my dream - to have class.

You asked me if I ever stood up for anything. Yeah, I stood up for my life.

I don't have a problem with being black in a white country or being with my people.

I grew up in the south, poor - on rock, dirt roads.

On the third day in India, I realized people were not suffering as much as I thought.

What is love but a second-hand emotion?

I don't like to dwell on the past.
