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

I loved 1930's women's pictures'films by Josef Von Sternberg or William Wyler. So, I fashioned a style out of that. The integrity and ethos of what I would write, however, came from the films of Ousmane Sembene and from reading Richard Wright, Toni Morrison, Sylvia Plath and Alice Walker.

People don't want truth, they just want trash.

I love cooking for men and making love with them'not just reproductive lovemaking but I like sex for the sake of freaking out with men.

I'm too good for assimilation.

I'm not so Pro-Israel'I'm Pro-Africa. Africa's greatest enemy of all time is the Arab Muslim Empire'they enslaved us for one thousand years and have committed untold atrocities and genocides against the East African people.

By any means necessary, I am for Africa.
