I can't take days off and play like I did last night. Maybe some people can, but I can't. You start making movies and people start seeing when you go to places, and all of a sudden you are getting clothes for free and all of a sudden you are getting food for free. Whatever the public blames you for, cultivate it; it is yourself. I would never withhold information about the murder of my man Biggie, or anybody else. It's just silly and ridiculous.

He died with his tie on. Do you think that could be our generation's equivalent of that old saying about dying with your boots on? Thinking clearly and effectively is the greatest asset of any human being. My close-up was magnificent! Whenever a total eclipse of the sun was visible in an accessible region parties were sent out to observe it. So never lose an opportunity of urging a practical beginning, however small, for it is wonderful how often in such matters the mustard-seed germinates and roots itself.
