If we were all sitting around as different races and as different religions, if you were a real friend of these people, you would bust on them all.
I don't just live in a bubble in Los Angeles. I'm on the road all the time. I say hello to people everywhere. That way, you get to see what despair is around the holidays. People are making terrible choices: Do I have heat in the winter or food on the table? Decisions between filling the gas tank or buying a gift for a kid.
I've had people hate me for my appearance. I think it gets me a certain level of empathy with the audience.
