I went on television and I wouldn't say a word; I feel so stupid when I watch them again.
I was brought up in black neighborhoods in South Baltimore. And we really felt like we were very black. We acted black and we spoke black. When I was a kid growing up, where I came from, it was hip to be black. To be white was kind of square.
America changed my life, but I still think of home and working in Scotland was an important part of that.
