I cherish the wound that I learned in the classroom of Auschwitz.
You don't appreciate what you have until you lose it.
See, if you take me out to dinner, and you might do that, take me out to lunch.
Yes.
I think I'm going to eat up my food and then I'm going to pick up your leftovers.
And if I don't do that, I'll take it home.
I never waste any food.
I never leave food on my plate or in your plate.
I do something with it and I give it away.
You know.
One time I had a party and I had a lot of leftovers.
And I went out and I saw someone at the corner waiting.
And I gave them the food.
I thought, you know, they must be hungry.
But they didn't want food.
They wanted money.
So they threw it back at me.
I don't want your goddamn food.
Give me money.
Right.
