“People were always telling me I was funny and I should give it a shot. But I did not know. I was a criminal, and I was confused. When I got out, I was trying all this stuff, and I was trying really hard. I had done every job imaginable. I dealt drugs, was a burglar, cooked and bar-tended. I did construction and sold cars.
