My favorite superhero growing up was the Hulk. He’s green; I’m black: It’s close enough. Guy’s my hero. Did you ever see his TV show? Same dilemma every week: “Don’t make me angry! You wouldn’t like me if I was angry!” You remember what happened after that? They would beat his a** like an animal. Then he’d get mad and turn into a monster and beat them up — and keep on walking like nothing happened. What kind of role model is gonna fight that much? After five episodes, I was like, “Hey man. Maybe it’s you.”

I was an Incredible Hulk fan, too. One of my earliest childhood memories was being punished in preschool
