I Have So Much Respect For What's

I've Never Been No Superficial Cat.

I've Introduced Myself With Comedy, And Once You've Introduced Yourself As Something, That's Where People Keep You. That's Where People Like To Hold You.

I Became The Storyteller Of South Side Chicago. I Used An Old Kiwi Liquid Shoe Polish As A Microphone. I'd Go Around The House Interviewing Everybody, Telling Stupid Jokes, Doing Voices. I Mimicked Sidney Poitier, Sammy Davis Jr., People On 'laugh-in,' Flip Wilson.

Why I Was So Intrigued With Red Skelton Was Because He Was Able To Make You Cry And Laugh And The Same Time. That Was Power.

They Say If You Don't Have Your Health You Ain't Got Nothing, But The Truth Is You Ain't Got Nothing If You Don't Have No One To Worry About Your Health.
