"Nobody wants to be completely useless. Nobody wants to be debilitated to the degree that they can't contribute or that they can't feel better about themselves, or that they can't be productive. That's what I really believe."
"When you've lost everything, when you've had everything stolen from you, when you've been bashed, raped, violated and persecuted you've got systemic abuse, you've got domestic abuse, I'll tell you what, I'm accredited. I am absolutely accredited to stay on the street the rest of my life.
"I would rather be here because people on the street, people who are heroin addicts, people who may not have the most intellectual capacity in the world have been more kind to me than my family have ever been and more kind to me, and more honest to me, than the system has ever been."
