It’s always a strange experience being quoted, not that it’s kept me from writing in books, blogs & comics.

Maybe it’s the classic New Yorican upbringing the loud Spanglish, clatter of cooking and MUSIC. Or maybe it was during those Rave party promoting days when I developed the knack for listening and being heard among the clamor. But I can’t think of an instance when I’ve been so specifically quoted for something I said off the cuff.
