When I couldn't speak English, I loved silent films circa 1914-1929, Abel Gance being my favorite director.

The Black woman is the most unprotected, unloved woman on earth...she is the only flower on earth...that grows unwatered.

I'm not at all against white people adopting black children, because we're all human beings who need to give love and be nurtured in safety, but I do think it's better to be adopted by blacks.

I learned English by watching soaps as a kid, and since I don't have any formal education and can't teach at the universities like other literary writers do.

While I love Mohammed and Jesus Christ'I reject all men's religions, not just Islam, but Christianity, Judaism and whatever else the men use for a whip.

By any means necessary, I am for Africa.

I was born to an Arab father and I was born Islamic.
