I always wanted to be someone better the next day than I was the day before.
I lived in a country where I couldn't live where I wanted to live. I lived in a country where I couldn't go where I wanted to eat. I lived in a country where I couldn't get a job, except for those put aside for people of my colour or caste.
I did not go into the film business to be symbolized as someone else's vision of me.
I don't very often read novels.
I had chosen to use my work as a reflection of my values.
I never had an occasion to question color, therefore, I only saw myself as what I was... a human being.
