To be in prison so long, it's difficult to remember exactly what you did to get there.

I will say that the prison regime is rather a good one for a writer because you have plenty of time to write.

I was separated from my wife at the time. A lot of people think I wrote it about prison.

I've spent most of my life in prison. I was a prisoner of my fear and my low self-esteem.

That is my major concern: writers who are in prison for writing.

Yeah, I've gotten a few letters from prison.

Fortunately for me, or unfortunately, they made me an editor of the Parish Prison Pelican. I could read and write, and I had a way with words.

I have said with as much sincerity as I can muster that if I were thrown into a dungeon with a sentence of one hundred years, with my only company being an illiterate guard who came twice a day with meals but who never spoke, I would still write - on coarse toilet paper in the dark if I could spare it.

I did almost a year in prison, a year in prison, just because my name is Foxy Brown.

I sent people to the penitentiary as fast as I could, never thinking about whether they deserved it.
