I’ve never done hard drugs, I’ve never been part of a gang, I’ve never smoked a cigarette. And I’ve only stolen one thing in my life, which cost less than fifty cents. This is not because I didn’t want to do these things. It’s because my mother wouldn’t let me. Growing up, I was terrified of her. She was more intimidating than any gang. So there was never a life of crime in the cards for me.
