After graduating from flares and platforms in the early 1970s, I started drama school wearing a pair of khaki dungarees with one of my Dad's Army shirts, accessorised by a cat's basket doubling as a handbag. Very Lady Gaga.

I try to speak my points of view about black America, and how I feel about black men and the role that black men should play in their lives with their children and in their lives with their women.

Journalism is literature in a hurry.

Matthew Arnold

Self-observation brings man to the realization of the necessity of self-change. And in observing himself a man notices that self-observation itself brings about certain changes in his inner processes. He begins to understand that self-observation is an instrument of self-change, a means of awakening.

It is the fate of most men who mingle with the world, and attain even the prime of life, to make many real friends, and lose them in the course of nature. It is the fate of all authors or chroniclers to create imaginary friends, and lose them in the course of art. Nor is this the full extent of their misfortunes; for they are required to furnish an account of them besides.

Charles Dickens

You get what you set out to do.

John Hanson

The joke is generally in the oddest way the truth and yet not the fact.

G.K. Chesterton

The right word may be effective, but no word was ever as effective as a rightly timed pause.

Mark Twain

To be humble to superiors is duty, to equals courtesy, to inferiors nobleness.

Benjamin Franklin
