She said, Sit down boy, I named you Quasar because you were named after a star. I said, I thought it was a TV set. No that’s a star. At that time I didn’t know what a star was. But once I saw one I realized I always was one. And star is somebody that shines bright, that people are attracted to. And something that really shows a flare and attracts others. So at that point, that’s when I knew that I had all the qualities to become a star.”
