All people have dignity. There's nobody who was born without a soul and a spirit.

Every one, we, we homosexuals, are people, and we need our oxygen to breathe.

People reach an age... where somebody else's platform is no longer yours.

We are a mixed up people. We have mixed up ways of naming, too... When my father's brothers and sisters first went to colonial schools, they had to produce a surname. They also had to show they were good Christians by adopting a western name. They adopted my grandfather's name as surname. Wainaina.

It's like I was always not quite sure even how to move in space somehow; I would watch people and then copy them. I found it really hard to walk straight. My brother was always on at me for walking off the pavement. I guess I always expected people to bring me back into line.

Every human being has a bit of gangster in him.
