I went to high school with Al Capone.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The Capone era. That was my time. Capone was a big baseball fan. He'd walk into the ballpark like the president walking in today, with bodyguards all around him.
How many gangsters you know, from Al Capone up to John Gotti, been gay?
I went to Baltimore School of the Arts, which is known for discovering Tupac and Jada Pinkett-Smith.
Someone once accused me of being like Eliot Ness. I sad no sir, I'm not E.N., but I can promise you that I'm not Al Capone!
When I was young, 'Scarface' was my favorite film. Al Pacino is my hero. I want to work with him.
I grew up with Al Jarreau. We had a band together and worked these places for three years when neither one of us knew we could make a living doing music.
And the only studies were - Rodney Dangerfield was my mentor and he was my Yale drama school for comedy.
Most of the time, people think they went to high school with me.
I was president of the schools in junior high and high school, got a scholarship to New York University, played a little basketball, and was a celebrity.
I met Howard Zinn in 1961, my first year at Spelman College in Atlanta. He was the tall, rangy, good-looking professor that many of the girls at Spelman swooned over.
