“College is a time when you’re trying to individualize and distinguish yourself from others and create your own subculture, and that was hard for me because I wanted to be part of the black community. I was for a while. Then I had kind of an alienating experience. It wasn’t really about being Jewish. It was more the way I looked. I was lighter and my hair was straighter and lighter. It was this tacit understanding that the lighter you are, the harder you have to try to be more committed to being black. That wasn’t part of my constitution as a human being. For me it was just about what I identified with. I wasn’t really in the practice of having to prove myself to anybody. I was definitely scared off because there were a couple of girls who didn’t like me and made me work really hard for friendship. [But] it was good in a sense because with every step of alienation I realized that my identity is truly my own.”

"I have had the pleasure of being bit by a monkey — namely Bubbles, Michael Jackson's chimpanzee. I have a scar. I was standing next to his cage and he grabbed something out of my hand. I opened the cage and the monkey started throwing things at me. I tried to punish him by lightly hitting him on the head, and he grabbed my hand and bit down on it like a sandwich."
