It's the poignancy and sadness in things that gets to me.

I used to dress up and impersonate our next-door neighbor, Miss Cox. She wore rubber boots, a wool hat, and her nose always dripped.

I've always had to create my own markets and I've always been at a juncture in my career.

Great pressure is put on kids who don't have dads to get out and make money, and make life easier for everybody. It was always, 'Hurry up, grow up, make money, there's no man to do it for us.'

It's the poignancy and sadness in things that gets to me.

I just want to do good work.

I wish I could believe that one person could make a difference.
