First of all: "Don't take your shoes off"–which meant you're walking right out. Because three years was a cinch compared to the thirty–six me years or a lifetime given to others. People go to the electric chair but I'd been given a different path. The next thing they said was: "Don't you serve time; let time serve you." That's when I got off me rhetoric and ate up all the books. That's when I got into Stendhal, into Hugo, into Shelley, into all me the goody-gum–drops. I ate up the 1905 Standard Dictionary, every word; it was about this thick [gestures] . All the archaic and obsolete words–ate it up. So I didn't serve time, I let time serve me. I was fed well and because I was young I had a kind of mascot status. The last shot was given to me as I'm walking out of the prison.
