I don't have a problem with being black in a white country or being with my people.
As long as I have people's attention, I can't stop. You can't put the public on hold, because they might not be there when you get back. I have a pathological fear of stopping.
I didn't worry about it because I kind of felt I left a good message and memory with the people in terms of my work, and I always felt with a good record, I could always come back.
Delhi came as a shock. There were so many people, and oh, the traffic.
I want to tell people how to live spiritually. After you've bought all your houses and your clothes, you want something bigger.
On the third day in India, I realized people were not suffering as much as I thought.
People think my life has been tough, but I think has been a wonderful journey. The older you get, the more you realise it's not what happens, but how you deal with it.
People have visions of choristers in gowns, but that was never my experience. I'm very proud of that period in my life.
