I didn't speak English until I was ten, when Philip Burton, the schoolmaster who became my guardian, took me under his wing.

For over ten years I always had, but I don't speak English.

I didn't speak English until I came to Pittsburgh.

It took me a year to really learn the American lingo. I really feel for people who are coming here and don't speak English at all. It must be hell.

I have had fun being who I became, so to speak.
