“You are quite impressed with yourself aren’t you?”
“Shit yeah! You would be too if you knew how far I get each time I focus myself to improve. If you were me you would be so impressed with yourself you would never realize you have more work to do and you would still be stuck admiring the teenage me.”
“Wow. You certainly have a stong sense of self. Do you make mistakes?”
“Come come now…. Thats a shitty question. If you want to insult me then do that. If you want to make a point you should do that too. It’s alright if you think my ego is so big I am blinded by it. But if you think that will cause me to say something stupid that you can use to undo the beauty that is the complexity of me then you bullshitting yourself…”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean, if you think you can set a trap question for me and that I will walk into it then you and I are wasting each other’s time…. To answer your question, yes, I make mistakes. Everyday. Some bigger than others. Some public some private. I take no pride in being right. I feel no shame in being wrong. I apologize when I feel I should and I don’t when I don’t. I have been known to tell someone to kiss my entire ass like Della Reese in Harlem Nights. I own what I do and what I have done. My mistakes cost me and what I am blessed to do well, I thank and praise God for. I know you are looking for drama but this interview is about something altogether different than that. Hows about we get back to the subject? Thank you.”
