Some old people, they remember that they used to play clarinet, and they remember the squeaks of the clarinet. But I don’t play like that.
You either evolve or you don’t. I don’t like old people on a rock n’ roll stage. I think they look pathetic, me included. And the fact that I represent an era means I can’t just go out there and do all new stuff. They would all say, ‘Sing ‘White Rabbit,’ and I’d say no? That’s rude.

I mean, that’s another big surprise of the show, is that I see sixteen year old people who recognize me and they’re honest, for-real fans of the show. And it goes down to nine months. I mean, I’ve heard of nine month to year-old children who are watching the show.

I’m grateful to intelligent people. That doesn’t mean educated. That doesn’t mean intellectual. I mean really intelligent. What black old people used to call ‘mother wit’ means intelligence that you had in your mother’s womb. That’s what you rely on. You know what’s right to do.

There’s a convention in English stuff that if something is more than 100 years old, people have to say ‘do not’ instead of ‘don’t. They have to say ‘will not’ instead of ‘won’t.’ People are speaking in a way that is not accessible or normal. And people didn’t ever speak like that.
How would you deal with it if you’re 9 years old, people are telling you, ‘You suck,’ and they don’t give sympathy? They don’t feel bad for you because of who your dad is.
We filed a constitutional rights lawsuit on my reservation, and I had to go out and interview all these old people. And I found that many of the old people on my reservation didn’t know who was president. That kind of pointed out to me the irrelevance at times of who is in Washington.

I worked at an old folks’ home once in Harlem, and I was an activities volunteer. I used to do all these plays with the old people. I did ‘The Wizard of Oz;’ it was adapted. There was a guy there who played the harmonica, so we had an overture, and The Wizard was 96.
