I’m not sure I have a natural gift. I think it’s just that some people have an easier time expressing their emotions, maybe because of the way they’ve been raised, and I’ve always been expressive.
My room was a real way of expressing myself. It was like a little nest that I could settle into.
How is it reasonable that in a country purporting to be a democracy, I am not permitted to speak freely? Why, as a politician, should I be banned from expressing political opinions? Why, as a student of history, can I not present the facts as I see them, without fear of reprisal?
I think the music defends myself. I don’t think anyone should put a race on any genre. It’s just a way of expressing yourself through instruments and sounds, right? People can just listen to the music.
When I first met Mandela, we did not discuss anything of substance; we just felt each other out. He spent a long time expressing his admiration for the Boer generals and how ingenious they were during the Anglo-Boer war.

I’ve written what and when I want to. It’s been about expressing myself. But with the degree, I had to learn to do everything in a very specific, disciplined way. I am very disciplined, but this demanded a totally different kind of discipline. A real challenge.

Japanese people are not known for expressing their feelings through singing and dancing, but I like to sing a lot. I don’t just sing to myself in the shower. I sing everywhere.
