  • [on her short-lived experience in jail while awaiting relocation to detox] I just felt uncomfortable. I wasn`t really scared until I started walking down the hall. I started to think, "What if a girl tries to rape me, or what if someone tries to bully me because I`m Left Eye." That kind of stuff was running through my head. But as soon as I turned the corner and all the girls saw me, they started cheering. They were like, "Whoooo! Left Eye! Left Eye!" So I started pimping, like, "Yeah! What`s up?" First I was walking like I was scared, but when they started yelling and screaming my name, I stood upright and I felt confident. Like okay, I`m not gone have to worry about that stuff I was just thinking about. I was like, "All right!" The whole time I was there I was just cool. I didn`t have a problem with nobody and nobody had a problem with me. I wasn`t like stuck in a corner crying like, "What am I going to do?" As soon as I got there, I joined in the card game. There were people who were excited. They were calling their family. They were like, "Left Eye, can you say hi to my little nephew?" I was like, "Sure, whatever, no problem." Lisa Lopes
