To be compared to Jackie Robinson is an enormous compliment, but I don't think it's necessarily deserved. |
So it's been kind of a long road, but it was a good journey altogether. |
I come from a great family. I've seen family life and I know how wonderful, how nurturing, and how wonderful it can be. |
So I'm OK with myself, with history, my work, who I am and who I was. |
In my case, the body of work stands for itself... I think my work has been representative of me as a man. |
My father was a poor man, very poor in a British colonial possession where class and race were very important. |
There is not racial or ethnic domination of hopelessness. It's everywhere. |
I wanted to look at them because I feel, internally, that I am an ordinary person who has had an extraordinary life. |
I'll always be chasing you... Glory. |
I had chosen to use my work as a reflection of my values. |
I never had an occasion to question color, therefore, I only saw myself as what I was... a human being. |
History passes the final judgment. |
