All my stories are webs of style and none seems at first blush to contain much kinetic matter. For me style is matter.
My first presidential primary vote was for Bobby Kennedy.
One of the first media tours I did was with The Rock - no one knew who I was, as I had just come from WCW; they thought I was The Rock's bodyguard.
First of all, Bolshevism represents revolution and the revolutionary struggle.
My first climb was on lead; there were pitons, no bolts.
'Bomber' was the first song I wrote about war.
If the United States had maintained its spending under Ronald Reagan, it is possible that the attacks of 9/11 - presaged by Islamic terror attacks on multiple American targets beginning with the first bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993 - would have been stopped.
By the time my first album was out, I had been out in Jamaica three or four years, but I had hits out at that time that were bona fide hits.
My first boyfriend was a surfer. We bonded over loving the sun, Depeche Mode, and The Cure.
He loves his bonds who, when the first are broke, Submits his neck into a second yoke.
My first signing bonus was 3,500 bucks. I bought speakers and a five-disc carousel CD changer. Dude, I thought I was the wealthiest quarterback around.
The first book I ever wrote was in fourth grade and it was called 'Billy's Booger.' It was an autobiographical piece about a kid who was really bad at math.
One of the first times that I went into a book store and saw a bunch of my books, my impulse was to put them all under my coat and run away so that no one else could see them, even though, of course, I wanted everyone to see them.
When I'm not in the booth, I'm one of the most laid-back guys. But growing up, I liked DMX, Jay-Z, 50 Cent, and T.I. - dudes that went all out on the track. My first songs were energetic because I liked their energy.
Queen were the first western band I got hooked on. I got a bootleg - there was hardly any legal buying of CDs in Georgia.
The loss of young first love is so painful that it borders on the ludicrous.
After my first year of college, each course I took in every field was so boring that I didn't even go to the classes.
The first thing the secretary types is the boss.
I had a lot of great bosses - I worked for Gina Prince-Bythewood for two years, I worked for Ava Duvernay as a PA on her first narrative film, and I worked with Mara Brock Akil, so a lot of wonderful role models.
I'd rather entrust the government of the United States to the first 400 people listed in the Boston telephone directory than to the faculty of Harvard University.
