#why

I never refused an autograph, never refused to buy someone a drink. Now I'm learning to say I've got other things on, instead of doing it and wondering why. ↗

You can find virtually everybody black back as far as the 1870 census. Why 1870? That's when the ex-slaves first have surnames. But if you find your great-great-grandfather in 1870 and it says he's 50, that means he was born in 1820 and you're back to 1820 already. For an American that's pretty damned good, you know? ↗

I only knew about daily life. It was said, well, it isn't everybody's daily life. That is why I started. ↗

I'm homosexual... How and why are idle questions. It's a little like wanting to know why my eyes are green. ↗

A lot of what I've been learning in the last two years is due to therapy - about my sexuality, why things go wrong, why relationships haven't worked. It isn't anything to do with anybody else; it's to do with me. ↗

Certainly there have been better actors than me who have had no careers. Why? I don't know. ↗
