Quotes

• [on appearing in ‘The Mod Squad’] I know a little about the street. I used to write numbers. I’ve seen police take bribes.I do know that a lot of officers love to get these jobs in the ghetto because they can shake people down. I know what’s going on, but that has nothing to do with a TV show. I’m not appearing on the show each and every week to seduce people into believing in their police departments.
