I wanted to be a writer. I wanted to say something about home.
There will always be men struggling to change, and there will always be those who are controlled by the past.
What I miss today more than anything else - I don't go to church as much anymore - but that old-time religion, that old singing, that old praying which I love so much. That is the great strength of my being, of my writing.
I want you to show them the difference between what they think you are and what you can be.
