“Usually, [with] black entertainers, and black figures in general, it’s either ‘you’re super-human’ or ‘you’re sub-human.’ But I really think it’s an achievement if you’re level zero. ‘Cause if people can relate to you and see you as a human being, that to me is a bigger eye-opener than for you to just leave your legacy. And [people say] ‘Oh! He was a god!’
He [image] is a god.
I am a man.”
