FISHING

1. Being single, seeing double, making triple
2. I wasn’t afraid of the talent they got, I was afraid that I’ll be the last black boy to fly out of Compton
3. Mom, Mom look, I touched the net.
When I was fishing, I wonder what the fishes say to their parents. Maybe something like, “Mom, Mom, look I touched the net.” Then their parents getting mad and scared. In this business you wonder the weirdest things. After a harsh talking-to by its parents, the fish would say, “I’m afraid that I would be the last fly fish to fly out of Compton. I want to see places and explore.” The same way I feel. That’s what I’m trying to do in this business. I’m about being single, seeing double, and making triple.
