“I moved up over Lower East Side and I was adopted by eight foster pare...” — Gregory Corso Quote

I moved up over Lower East Side and I was adopted by eight foster parents; I lived all over New York City with these parents, man, till I was about ten years old.

The lucky thing was that I was Italian; when the other Italians saw me fight back, they came to my defence.

The judge said I was a menace to society because I had put crime on a scientific basis.

Now, twenty years old, I come out and I go back to Greenwich Village. Now, of course, I'm a wealthy man.

Anyway, I lived on the streets and did pretty good until I got caught stealing, what was it? I kicked in a restaurant window, went in and took all the food that I wanted, and while coming out I was grabbed.

What Christopher Nolan and I have done with 'Superman' is try to bring the same naturalistic approach that we adopted for the 'Batman' trilogy. We always had a naturalistic approach; we want our stories to be rooted in reality, like they could happen in the same world we live in.

The main way that being adopted has shaped my songwriting is that I was asked at an early age to consider the circumstances that led to my life, and in a way, I was introduced to how fragile and unlikely life is from the beginning.

My daughter is a preschooler but I have only known her for a while. She is adopted.

Originalism says that when you consult the text, you give it the meaning it had when it was adopted, not some later modern meaning.
