My only regret is that I signed away the world rights and in America they've been far and away my most successful books, but I never saw a cent from any of it.
As a political weapon, it has helped me for 30 years defend the rights of American blacks and third-world people all over the world, to defend them with protest songs. To move the audience to make them conscious of what has been done to my people around the world.
I've been offered a couple of shows that have been very successful, but they weren't right for me. It has to be something I could be excited about for a long time.
In times of great stress or adversity, it's always best to keep busy, to plow your anger and your energy into something positive.
Americans appreciate the way our friends around the world are sticking by us, and we all hope for their continued support in what's going to be some very trying times.
What we have, however, is an issue that has tremendous impact here at home, and we believe that Americans are starting to feel vulnerable, not just from what is going on around the world but right here in the United States.
I've always been fussier than I can afford to be. I don't just want to do whatever it takes to be successful, I want to do what I consider to be good stuff. If I'm not engaged in something, it doesn't matter what it is and who's doing it.
Teachers are always trying to inspire people to do better, to learn, to grow. That's what we do, and we're proud of the success we've had here doing that, and it's something we'll certainly continue to do.
I feel like I owe something to America, as it is where I found success.
