“I know what's good for me. I can't play black or gray. I can't be a villain or anything close to one. I have to play white.”

“You all know that I have been sustained throughout my life by three saving graces - my family, my friends, and a faith in the power of resilience and hope. These graces have carried me through difficult times and they have brought more joy to the good times than I ever could have imagined.”
