I'm Not Suspicious Of Success, I'm Suspicious Of The People Who Want To Attach Themselves Because Of Your Success.

All My Life I've Tried To Hide My Height. I Was Taller Than Everybody Else And Stood Out, So I Would Slouch And Try To Hide It.

There Was Our House In New Orleans. Two Blocks In Front Of Us Were These Beautiful Mansions And Two Blocks Behind Us Were The Ghetto, Projects, And That's Where I Had To Go To School, But I Would Always Pattern My Life Looking Forward. It Was Almost Literal.

I Was A Very Poor Young Black Boy In New Orleans, Just A Face Without A Name, Swimming In A Sea Of Poverty Trying To Survive.

I Think, You Know, The People That Have Seen My Work, I Think It Speaks To The Possibility Of Getting Better, And, I'm Sorry, I'm Still On The Last Caller.
