You know I am an actor, and I have medals for diction.

Could I say that the reason that I am here today, you know, from the mouth of the State Department itself, is: I should not be allowed to travel because I have struggled for years for the independence of the colonial peoples of Africa.

The other reason that I am here today, again from the State Department and from the court record of the court of appeals, is that when I am abroad I speak out against the injustices against the Negro people of this land.

I am happy being what I am.

I am a pupil of Pissarro.

I am what I am and, you know, I'm a very lucky guy.
