The media has outright lied on me. They reported that I called myself Osama's [Bin Laden] 'sex slave,' apparently unaware that sex slaves aren't allowed to look their master in the eye, write poetry with him or go on hunting excursions with him.

I have never turned a trick in my life, and I just resent the American definitions of ’sex slave’ and ’prostitute’ so much. I was a mistress!

I warn black Americans'don't get too mixed. A little is fine, but not to the point where you're out of the family.

As for developing a writing style'I would say that I tried to copy the pacing of the old movies I loved as a kid.

I'm not told what to say by any Republicans and I've never done a personal appearance topless.

I have never received full credit from the SPLA [Sudanese People's Liberation Army], because the men are very sexist and feel that I'm acting out of place, bringing too much attention to myself - but for the funeral of our leader John Garang, they had me write the poem "Chol Apieth" to eulogize him, and that was their way of acknowledging my contributions.

I met rich men and they became my boyfriends. When I was a kept woman'it was a relationship.
