Quotes
“I feel a citizen of the world. I’m not really a Nationalist. I’m very fortunate; I can embrace any culture in the world and feel quite at home. That’s a joy for me. New York gave me a sense of belonging that is not constricted by nationalism.”
Interview “I am always glad to express gratitude to the library, I spent my youth there, reading Nancy Drew mysteries, Jack London novels, and the works of Fenimore Cooper. But I never read about myself or about black people.”
