00:00I don't like the idea as an artist of anyone telling me I can't do this or I should behave
00:04in such a way or fashion. That's why I got into the business to express myself,
00:09make people laugh and make them forget about stupid stuff like that.
00:18I knew each time I went to work that I was carrying the imagery that would be perpetuated
00:24and an opportunity to correct so many of the negative stereotypes that had been perpetuated
00:31for years and become part of the American fabric. It was a wonderful opportunity,
00:37but as I say, repeatedly at the risk of being redundant. It was also a great, great responsibility.
