'Oscar you are so mean. Isn't he kids?' 'Yeah Oscar, you're a grouch!' He's like 'Bitch I live in a fucking trash can! I'm the poorest mother fucker on Sesame Street. Nobody's helpin me.'

And I walk into this resteraunt to order some food, and I say to the guy 'I would like to have...' And before i could even finish my sentence, he says, 'The chicken!' I was like 'What the fuck?!' I couldn't believe it. This man was absolutely right! I said 'How did he know that I was gonna get some chicken?' I asked him, I was like 'How'd you know that? How'd you know I was gonna get some chicken?' He looked at me like I was crazy. 'Come on buddy. Now everybody knew as soon as you walked through the god damn door that you were gonna get some chicken. It a no secret down here that blacks and chickens are quite fond of one another.' And then I finally understood what he was saying and I got upset. I wasn't even mad, I was just upset. I wasn't ready to hear that shit.

  1. You can't get unfamous. You can get infamous but you can't get unfamous.

  2. You can't get un-famous. You can get infamous, but you can't get un-famous.

  3. If someone sits and stares at you while you eat, you won't even eat the way you normally do, because it'll make you so uncomfortable. If I look at my dog when he's eating, he will look at me like, "Dave, I will bite you. What are you looking at? I'm trying to eat." It's something that dehumanizes a person, being on display like that.

  4. The kid is the best thing that ever happened to me.

  5. I love being famous - it's phenomenal.

  6. The language you are about to hear... is disturbing.

  7. The biggest enemy of an artist is apathy... A kid gets killed by the police and I buy a T-shirt and before I can wear that one, there's another kid (killed) and I'm running out of closet space.

  8. You got to be careful of the company you keep.

  9. I'm happier in the way a guy gets happier when he starts to mature. It doesn't make things easier, but I'm so much better at handling them.
