I had grown up at a time when people were being lynched, being attacked with water hoses. Becoming active and learning a different way of viewing my life was a healthy reaction to what I was seeing every day.
Im known for impressions and family stories.
I have not heard from President Barack. I've never gotten a phone call.
I had a twin, and he didn't make it.
In the clubs, it's all out and you can say whatever as the character. TV has standards.

The two operations of our understanding, intuition and deduction, on which alone we have said we must rely in the acquisition of knowledge.
Even as age humbles me it feeds my arrogance. There is still nothing that interests me as much as myself.
I don't rely on anybody except my own judgment. I don't get much input. I don't know if that's helped me or if I would be better off if I did rely on someone.
