We were always, relatively speaking, dirt poor. But I never... felt poor nor ever thought about poor. Listen to the language. How did you do on the test poorly? How is that? That's poor. How is that wine? Well, that's rich. The language tells you the value of the words. Think of it this way. We have a double standard. If you work hard and dig ditches, you know that Sunset Boulevard we drove down?

Somebody had to pave that pour the asphalt and all the rest of that stuff. They do that every day, vacation time if they can get it, but they get up every day and work at a job they don't like, in some cases hate, in summer, in snow, and everything else. And they hate it just for the money so that they can feed their family and survive. That's the salt of the earth.

But if you're an actor or a painter or a rock star, you know, whatever you are, and you make a lot of money, you're disparaged. And that's a nice way of saying, ah, that guy's an asshole. Well, there's no credibility there. I guess a lot of people do call me an asshole. It's usually for other reasons.

It's relative, depending on who's looking at you. I see. So when, as opposed to if, aliens land on the planet, they won't understand the differences. If you're in America, whatever racial group, and you come from the South... How y'all doing? What are you doing over there? You kind of go, snicker, snicker. Listen to how they talk. They're from the south. I'm from the, ah, those northern bastards.

Then there's East Coast versus West Coast. And then you look at middle America. Well, nothing happens there. And they look at you. Everybody's got differences. Then there's old age, young kids. You're an amoeba. You don't know anything. Then there's black, white, Hispanic, all the differences. Even Cain and Abel didn't get along very well. So your definition of yourself is based on to whom.

So if I was, quote, African-American and I lived in Harlem, I'd never think about being black because almost all my friends and almost everybody around me is black. And I don't want to talk for other white people, but there are varying degrees of who your mother was, who your grandmother was. You can be mixed or not mixed or all that stuff.

At the end of the day, you try to go through the stop signs and the different lanes of life, and then you die. So there's not much going on except trying to figure out how to be comfortable in your skin, whether anybody else gets it or not. So I've always been delusional about myself. Yeah.
