I Would Say, For Me, That Philosophical Treatise About Having Black Beginnings And Wanting Love To Compensate For That, Wanting Audiences And Wanting Attention - I Say, "au Contraire." Completely Opposite. I Want The Continuation Of My Mother's Incredible Love And Attention To Me.

Then They Grew Up And Found Out That In The Grown-up World, You Don't Get All That Love, You Just Get Your Share. So They Went Into Show Business To Recapture The Love They Had Known As Children When They Were The Center Of The Universe.
