I knew at that instant it was going to be bad news.

It's part of people's character that they would try to make some sense of it. It always seemed to me that Greensboro was a reflective community.

I feared for my life; it was a life-or-death situation. In some ways, I've never really gotten it out of my mind.

I heard screams and gunfire. I smelled gunpowder and I heard the groans of people dying.

It is better to be making the news than taking it; to be an actor rather than a critic

The British nation is unique in this respect: they are the only people who like to be told how bad things are, who like to be told the worst.
