“We had the wood shop, the machine shop, so I know about all that. I wanted to build buildings when I graduated from high school. I do know my way around that stuff.”

I’m tender on the inside.

When my ancestors came from Africa, they were shackled by our neck, our wrists, and our ankles in steel chains.

I’m not really an actor, I’m a reactor; I’m a pitchman. That’s what I do best. Nobody can do it any better.

NBC had a show called ‘The Toughest Bouncer in America’ that I did. But I told them I didn’t like that term, ‘bouncer.’.

I would travel with a suitcase full of diamonds and take them from point A to point B.

I’m so tough and so bad, I can be humble and lift another guy up.

I don’t worry. I don’t doubt. I’m daring. I’m a rebel.

The stories themselves haunt, they stick around, they linger, inhabiting a little corner of the reader’s brain and resurfacing to evoke mystery or sadness or longing.

Movements of people create change – not just any one person or organization, but when lots of people are in motion around a shared vision.

I’m not running around as a continual ray of sunshine. It’s just I don’t believe in wasting time feeling sorry for myself. Get over it.

What is my task? To get the gospel around the world in the shortest possible time to every man and woman and boy and girl!

I may call it jealousy, or may be anxiety and moreover, need. Even now I’m anxious at times because when I am with Ren, everything around feels like a dream.

I feel that I’ve lived and see the same evolution in this regard around disability.

We wish that all countries around the world honor our wishes and our Jihad, and we avoid interfering in their business.

For us who choose our dreams over our love the only thing we can do for love is perhaps to release the lock around our necks. Through that, the pain may vanish.
