I have never felt any ethnic connection between the Greeks and me other than how hairy I am.

I haven't received any pressure to be anything other than myself, and for that, I am so grateful.

I am a Christian. That obliges me to be a Communist.

I'm never pleased with anything, I'm a perfectionist, it's part of who I am.

I am a Republican, a black, dyed in the wool Republican, and I never intend to belong to any other party than the party of freedom and progress.

I am who I am, I am what I am, I do what I do and I ain't never gonna do it any different. I don't care who likes it and who don't.
