Its all emotion because youre telling your story. Sops the thing is i like doing thing the way i like to do it. Thats the way ive done it my whole life. You earned that right. Working with him, hes a master at the doing autobiographies. I mean, everybody frommeta ja t james to marvin perry to myself just did yours, you know. So there were heated moments.
