Question: If you could have a conversation with anyone, who would it be?

Chudy Nduaka: You know, Martin Luther King would be the number one person. He's just so amazing, that guy, and I wish he was alive today. Because I want to get into his head and just find out what he was thinking when he said things or when he went to lead a protest or what have you. He was such an amazing guy and I think he's influenced my life a lot. He would be the number one person I want to talk with. I love Mandela also. These are just incredible guys that come once in a while, you know, maybe Obama will be the next one, we'll see. But you don't get a lot of these people, you know, who you can look up to as mentors. The two great icons like that. And unfortunately some of these big icons, there's always tragedy surrounding them, and I've never been able to understand why. Must you have a tragedy for someone to be such a great icon? But yeah.
