I wanted to analyse and understand how the Chinese people could have their lives so crushed by fear.
I was influenced by a lot of stand-up comedians... Eddie Murphy back when he was doing 'Raw.' I watched that so many times as a kid, I can probably still quote the entire thing to this day. Chris Rock. Dave Chappelle. George Carlin. A lot of the guys who were sort of edgy for their time.
Nixon did have a secret plan, and I knew that it involved making threats of nuclear war to North Vietnam.
