“אני לא מבין מה קורה פה בארצות הברית, הנה אנחנו פה במועדון, לבנים ושחורים, נהנים וצוחקים אבל אם נצא החוצה וכל החרא הזה משתנה.”

“I believe in divine forces and energies.”

“There's a lot more hypocrisy than before. Racism has gone back underground.”

“But thoughts don't care about truth and shit. They sit up in your mind and fuck with you whenever.”

“I think about dying. I've come to realize we all die alone in one way or another.”

“I don't see myself getting married again, but if I do, it will be forever.”

“The black groups that boycott certain films would do better to get the money together to make the films they want to see, or stay in church and leave us to our work.”

“I know that if I wasn't scared, something's wrong, because the thrill is what's scary.”

“The reason people use a crucifix against vampires is because vampires are allergic to bullshit.”
