• La llamé Kinko's por mi apodo, porque tenía el pelo muy rizado. Si lo piensas, lo primero que aprende un bebé es "Googoo, gaga", y si piensas en buenas empresas como Kodak, Xerox, Google, la gente recuerda las consonantes, por eso Kinko's era un buen nombre. Pero en realidad yo tenía una gran cabeza de pelo rizado y antes de llamarme 'Kinko' era 'Pube Head'. Así que pensé que Kinko's era mejor que Pubo's.

• I adore my black skin and my kinky hair. The Negro hair is more educated than the white man's hair. Because with Negro hair, where you put it, it stays. It's obedient. The hair of the white, just give one quick movement, and it's out of place. It won't obey. If reincarnation exists I want to come back black.
