I was on a game show and now I'm the game show girl who got a movie. That's how I consider myself.
I lead no party; I follow no leader. I have given the best part of my life to careful study of Islam, its law and polity, its culture, its history and its literature.
I've never set out consciously to write American music. I don't know what that would be unless the obvious Appalachian folk references.
