When I was in jail, I was a lot of people's favorite person. I practically ran the jail. I had more freedom than the police.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Jail was probably the most exciting thing that's ever happened to me.
Lots of people think I went to prison. I never went to prison. I was in jail without bail.
I've spent most of my life in prison. I was a prisoner of my fear and my low self-esteem.
In 1960, when I came out of prison as an ex-convict, I had more freedom under parolee supervision than there's available... in America right now.
I was never jailed. The fact is that I was arrested, but I went into a diversion programme, and by that time I'd already begun working in what was called anger management. It was a painful and awful moment.
When I was younger, I didn't have the finer things in life. It was around me - the cars, the jewelry and all of that. But I didn't have it. So I did bad things to get what I wanted. Going to jail never crossed my mind. I wish it had. When I was locked up, my mother didn't support me because she couldn't accept who I was and where I was.
Prison opened my eyes to so many things. It was a great time. I met interesting people. I got to understand the behaviour of the police and the media. I am an observer of the human race.
One of the things about jail that's weird is that you're sent to a place where you're supposed to sit there and think about your actions and their consequences and why you're there. And I think now, it turns more into - the minute you go there, it's just survival.
I shot a couple of movies in jail, but I was never in jail.
I've never been to jail. I've never been arrested. I've never been locked up.
