JUSTICE CLARENCE THOMAS, GO BACK TO THE VERY FIRST TIME YOU THOUGHT ABOUT THIS. |
| 00:00:46 |
|
I THOUGHT IT WAS IN THE YEAR 2000, SHORTLY AFTER MY BROTHER DIED, WHEN I REALIZED THAT HIS DEATH MEANT... |
| 00:01:20 |
|
HOW DID YOU DO IT? HOW DID YOU START? |
| 00:01:27 |
|
ACTUALLY WITH SOME PRODDING. SOMETIME IN 2003 MAY BE. I STARTED PUTTING IT DOWN, AND ONE THING LED... |
| 00:01:57 |
|
SUPREME COURT JUSTICE DOES NOT JUST WRITE A BOOK. HE HAS TO HAVE AN AGENT. HAVE YOU GET AN AGENT?... |
| 00:02:07 |
|
I DO NOT KNOW HOW THAT EXACTLY WORKED. I THINK I TALKED WITH SOME FRIENDS THAT HAD WRITTEN BOOKS ... |
| 00:02:25 |
|
BY HARPERCOLLINS -- WHY HARPER COLLINS? |
| 00:02:27 |
|
THAT IS WHAT WE ENDED UP WITH. IT WAS NOT AN OVERWHELMING INTEREST IN THE BOOK. THERE WAS AN OVERWHELMING... |
| 00:02:43 |
|
EVERY STORY ABOUT YOU SAYS THAT THIS BOOK IS WORTH 1 MILLION AND ONE-HALF DOLLARS. DO YOU WANT TO... |
| 00:02:51 |
|
THAT WAS AN ADVANCE. WORSE, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IT IS WORTH. |
| 00:02:56 |
|
SO FAR, WHAT IS YOUR REACTION WITH THE COVERAGE YOU HAVE GOTTEN SINCE IT CAME OUT? |
| 00:03:04 |
|
I DO NOT EXACTLY FOLLOW ALL OF THAT. I THINK CERTAINLY "60 MINUTES" WAS THERE AND QUITE GOOD. --... |
| 00:03:27 |
|
YOU STATE IN YOUR BOOK THAT JUAN WILLIAMS CHANGED YOUR LIFE. |
| 00:03:35 |
|
I DO NOT KNOW IF I SAID THAT, EXCEPT THE ARTICLE. IN 1980, WHEN WE WENT TO THE FAIRMONT CONFERENCE... |
| 00:04:03 |
|
IT WAS A CONVERSATION ABOUT YOUR SISTER? |
| 00:04:06 |
|
THAT IS WHAT CRITICS MADE IT. IT WAS NOT ABOUT MY SISTER. IT WAS ABOUT ISSUES SUCH AS WELFARE, SCHOOL... |
| 00:04:43 |
|
WAS THAT 1980? |
| 00:04:48 |
|
THAT WAS IN DECEMBER OR NOVEMBER OF 1980. I WAS WORKING FOR SENATOR DANFORTH. THAT WAS WHAT I MET... |
| 00:05:04 |
|
AND AT THAT TIME, AT SOME POINT IN THE PROCESS, HE BECAME A REPUBLICAN TO VOTE FOR RONALD REAGAN?... |
| 00:05:11 |
|
IT WAS AROUND THAT ELECTION, IT JUST BEFORE HIS ELECTION IN 1980. |
| 00:05:15 |
|
ONE NAME THAT COMES UP OFTEN IS JOHN BOLTEN. |
| 00:05:22 |
|
HE WAS MY CLASSMATES AT YALE. |
| 00:05:25 |
|
HE SUGGESTED HE MIGHT HAVE HELPED SHIFT YOUR POLITICS. |
| 00:05:30 |
|
IN A LOT OF WAYS. HE IS AN INTERESTING GUY, AND ONE THING HE IS IS ABSOLUTELY HONEST. HE FOUND MY... |
| 00:06:35 |
|
HOW MUCH HAVE YOU STAYED IN TOUCH WITH HIM? |
| 00:06:39 |
|
IN WASHINGTON, YOU DO NOT SEE PEOPLE EVERY DAY, BUT AS FOR HIM IN AT THE STATE DEPARTMENT. WE HAVE... |
| 00:06:49 |
|
ONE THING IN YOUR BOOK IS ALL OF THE DIFFERENT NAMES THAT HAVE HAD AN IMPACT ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.... |
| 00:07:01 |
|
I WAS CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMISSION. THERE WERE TWO JOBS. AS CHAIRMAN, YOU RUN MEETINGS AND DEVELOP... |
| 00:07:44 |
|
WHAT DID YOU SAY AT THE TIME THAT IRRITATED BRAD? |
| 00:07:51 |
|
WE DISAGREED ON SUBSTANCE. THAT WAS A TIME WHEN WE TALK ABOUT QUOTAS AND GOALS AND TIMETABLES, AND... |
| 00:08:43 |
|
YOU SAID YOU HOPED TO CAMPAIGN FOR RONALD REAGAN, BUT YOU DID NOT GET THE CALL. |
| 00:08:52 |
|
I THINK IT WAS A TIME IN THERE WHERE YOU THERE AND IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING WORKING FOR A BIG ADMINISTRATION.... |
| 00:09:14 |
|
WHAT DID YOU DO ABOUT IT? |
| 00:09:17 |
|
I CONTINUE TO HAMMER AWAY. FIRST, I WAS DISAPPOINTED, BUT ONE THING YOU REALIZE IS THAT IF YOU STAY... |
| 00:09:45 |
|
TELL US ABOUT SOME OF YOUR PREDICT YOU TELL US ABOUT SOME OF YOUR READING HABITS. -- YOU TELL US ABOUT... |
| 00:09:59 |
|
I STARTED OUT WATCHING ADOLF HITLER AND WONDERING WHY THE WESTERN WORLD, THIS GREAT CIVILIZED SOCIETY,... |
| 00:11:41 |
|
WHAT YEAR DID YOU GET INTRODUCED TO CHURCHILL? |
| 00:11:47 |
|
IT WAS THE 1980'S BAIDOA IN PARTICULAR. WHAT TO DO THAT, YOU FIND PEOPLE THAT ARE ALSO INTERESTED... |
| 00:12:31 |
|
HOW MUCH DID READING CHANGE YOUR THINKING? |
| 00:12:33 |
|
IT IS INTERESTING. I DO NOT KNOW IF IT CHANGE MY THINKING AS MUCH AS IT CAUSED ME TO THINK MORE THOROUGHLY... |
| 00:13:32 |
|
YOU MENTIONED LINCOLN. WHO INTRODUCED YOU TO LINCOLN? |
| 00:13:38 |
|
I READ "BATTLE CRY OF FREEDOM." IT WAS THE ONE ON VOLUME OXFORD ADDITION, AND I WAS INTERESTED IN... |
| 00:15:05 |
|
HOW DO YOU FIND SOMEONE TO HIRE AND DO THAT JOB? |
| 00:15:08 |
|
AGAIN FORTUITOUS. SOMEBODY HAPPENED TO APPLY. |
| 00:15:11 |
|
THE YOU REMEMBER WHO? |
| 00:15:17 |
|
A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO WERE OUT AT THE CLAREMONT INSTITUTE IN CALIFORNIA, AND WHAT I WAS IN -- AND... |
| 00:15:47 |
|
YOU ALSO SAID YOU READ "FOUNTAINHEAD" AND "ATLAS SHRUGGED." WHAT YEARS WAS THAT? |
| 00:15:59 |
|
I READ IN HIGH SCHOOL AND WE READ THEM OVER THE YEARS. I READ BOTH AS SLOWLY AS I COULD DURING MY... |
| 00:16:43 |
|
CLARENCE PENDLETON, WHAT WAS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM? |
| 00:16:45 |
|
I LOVED HIM. WE CALLED HIM A PENNY. HE WAS THE CHAIRMAN OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS COMMISSION WHILE I WAS... |
| 00:17:30 |
|
WHEN YOU WERE NOMINATED FOR THE SUPREME COURT, YOU SAY AT ONE. NEAR THE TIME WHEN YOU HAD TO GO IN... |
| 00:17:46 |
|
I DID NOT GIVE COMBAT OF SPEECHES. I GAVE SPEECHES -- WHEN YOU START GETTING SORT OF CRITICIZED,... |
| 00:18:30 |
|
IN 2000, HE STARTED ABOUT THE -- HE STARTED HE BOUGHT THE BOOK. WHEN DID YOU FINISH? -- IN 2000, YOU... |
| 00:18:46 |
|
I STARTED THE FIRST DRAFT IN 2005, AND IT WAS DOUBLE THE SIZE OF THIS BOOK. IT WAS AROUND 380 SINGLE-SPACED... |
| 00:18:54 |
|
WHAT WAS TAKEN OUT? |
| 00:18:56 |
|
I DO NOT THINK ANYTHING OF SUBSTANCE. NONE OF THE STORY WAS TAKEN OUT, BUT THAT IS THE NATURE OF EDITING.... |
| 00:19:29 |
|
PHYSICALLY, WHERE DID YOU WRITE? |
| 00:19:30 |
|
AT HOME. ON VACATION, HOTEL ROOMS, AIRPLANES, SOCCER PRACTICE, BUT BASKETBALL PRACTICE WITH MY GREAT... |
| 00:19:58 |
|
WHAT KIND OF REQUIREMENTS DID HARPER COLLINS MAKE ON YOU TO MAKE IT A SALABLE BOOK? |
| 00:20:04 |
|
9. I REFUSE TO TURN OVER ANY EDITORIAL RIGHTS OR TO BE -- OR TO ALLOW ANYBODY TO TELL ME WHAT TO... |
| 00:20:19 |
|
YOU ARE NOT GOING THROUGH ANY OF THIS FOR THE FUN OF IT? |
| 00:20:29 |
|
I AGREE TO DO SOME, BUT AS FAR AS SUBSTANCE, NO SUGGESTIONS OTHER THAN HELP IN EDITING IN A WAY --... |
| 00:21:21 |
|
I HAVE SEEN YOUR INTERVIEWS. YOU STARTED OUT ON "60 MINUTES." WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT HOW THEY TREATED... |
| 00:21:29 |
|
THEY TREATED ME VERY WELL. I HAVE TO ADMIT BASED ON MY EXPERIENCES, NOT SPECULATION, THAT I WAS VERY... |
| 00:22:00 |
|
WHY? WHY ARE YOU STILL THAT-, AND WHY DID THIS MAKE A DIFFERENCE? |
| 00:22:11 |
|
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GO BACK AND READ THE COVERAGE, AND YOU CAN ANSWER THE QUESTION. PEOPLE HAVE... |
| 00:22:54 |
|
RUSH LIMBAUGH -- IT WAS INTERESTING HAVING EVERYBODY BRAG ABOUT HOW THEY'RE GOING TO BE THE LONGEST... |
| 00:23:17 |
|
HE IS A WONDERFUL FRIEND. |
| 00:23:24 |
|
YOU MARRIED HIM. |
| 00:23:27 |
|
I PERFORMED THE CEREMONY. |
| 00:23:29 |
|
IT IS HARD FOR YOU WHEN YOU KNOW SOMEONE BACK WELL TO BE INTERVIEWED BY THEM AND HAVE THEM TELL YOU... |
| 00:23:40 |
|
HE DOES NOT LET UP ON YOU BECAUSE OF THAT, BUT I TRUST THAT HE IS NOT THERE TO SCORE POINTS. SO MANY... |
| 00:24:16 |
|
I NOTICED THAT WHEN "60 MINUTE" CAME OUT, IT SAID, "THAT JUST AS NOBODY KNOWS." I LOOKED AT MY RECORDS... |
| 00:24:41 |
|
YOU HIT THE POINT. C-SPAN HAS DONE WONDERFUL. YOU REMEMBER AFTER BUSH BEAT GORE THAT YOU HAD ME THE... |
| 00:25:25 |
|
I WROTE THIS DOWN FROM ABC COVERAGE. "THE SILENT JUSTICE." SHE SAID YOU WERE CANDID, EMOTIONAL, UNPLUGGED,... |
| 00:25:44 |
|
I THINK BECAUSE I DO NOT TALK HEARING ORAL ARGUMENTS. THEY THINK I CANNOT TALK AND THEY HAVE TO SPECULATE.... |
| 00:26:28 |
|
"USA TODAY" DID ITS YEARLY EDITORIAL, AND THEY STARTED OFF BY SAYING, IT SEEMS LIKE YOU CAN SEE SUPREME... |
| 00:27:10 |
|
I THINK SO. |
| 00:27:12 |
|
IS A DEAD ISSUE AS FAR AS YOU CONCERNED THAT WE WILL NEVER SEE THE SUPREME COURT IN THIS? |
| 00:27:21 |
|
YEARS AGO WHEN YOU WERE STARTING C-SPAN, I THINK THERE WAS SOME THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BE A DEAD ISSUE... |
| 00:28:25 |
|
HAVE THEY EVER VOTED ON IT SINCE YOU HAVE BEEN THERE? |
| 00:28:30 |
|
I DO NOT THINK THE DISCUSSION EVER REALLY STOPS. IT MAY RISE AND EBB AND FLOW, BUT I DO NOT THINK... |
| 00:28:37 |
|
WILL YOU LET US KNOW? |
| 00:28:43 |
|
I CANNOT PROMISE YOU THAT. YOU HAVE TO TALK WITH THE CHIEF JUSTICE. HE IS IN CHARGE. |
| 00:28:50 |
|
COVERAGE THIS WEEK WHICH LOWRY WROTE REGION R-- RICH LOWRY, WROTE ABOUT YOU. WHY IS THERE SUCH A DIFFERENCE... |
| 00:29:19 |
|
MAY BE TWO DIFFERENT HUMAN BEINGS LOOK DIFFERENTLY AT YOU, TOO, BUT WHAT I TRY TO POINT OUT IN THE... |
| 00:30:44 |
|
HOW MUCH DO YOU READ THE NEWSPAPERS? |
| 00:30:45 |
|
I DO NOT. I DO NOT THINK IT IS A BIG USE OF MY TIME. |
| 00:30:52 |
|
YOU DO NOT READ "THE POINT -- THE POST." |
| 00:31:00 |
|
NO, I WANTED TO BE A JOURNALIST, BUT I THINK PART OF BEING A GOOD JOURNALIST IS BEING HONEST. I THINK... |
| 00:31:18 |
|
THEN YOU PROBABLY DID NOT SEE THIS, OR MAYBE YOUR WIFE, AND THIS SEEMS TO WATCH THIS STUFF -- |
| 00:31:26 |
|
I AM NOT INTERESTED. THERE IS FURTHER REASON NOT TO BE BOTHERED BY IT, SO I AM NOT BOTHERED. |
| 00:31:39 |
|
SOME OF THE TOUGHEST CRITICISM I HAVE SEEN SINCE THE BOOK CAME OUT IS AN AFRICAN AMERICAN COLUMNIST... |
| 00:31:48 |
|
I COULD NOT CARE LESS. |
| 00:31:53 |
|
DO YOU KNOW WHO THIS IS? |
| 00:31:54 |
|
I HAVE NO IDEA. |
| 00:31:59 |
|
HE SAYS -- THIS IS HOW TOUGH IT HAS BEEN THIS WEEK -- I BELIEVE IN AFFIRMATIVE ACTION, BUT THERE ARE... |
| 00:32:14 |
|
THAT IS USELESS TO ME. WHY IS THAT IMPORTANT? |
| 00:32:20 |
|
I DO NOT KNOW, BUT PEOPLE READ HIS COLUMN. |
| 00:32:23 |
|
YOU CAN FIND SOMEONE AT THE LOCAL TAVERN WITH TOO MUCH TO DRINK SAYING THAT. THAT IS USELESS. THAT... |
| 00:33:02 |
|
I DO NOT KNOW. I DO NOT KNOW BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE TO BE IN SOME CONTEXT, BUT THESE COLUMNISTS WRITE... |
| 00:33:12 |
|
THE RIGHT THINGS ABOUT -- THINGS THAT ARE RIDICULOUS WITH NO VALUE. |
| 00:33:17 |
|
RUTH MARCUS. |
| 00:33:21 |
|
I DO NOT KNOW WHO THAT IS. |
| 00:33:24 |
|
SHE SAYS, TO READ THE BOOK IS TO BE STRUCK BY THE FURNACE OF HIS ANGER AT DEMOCRATS AND LIBERAL INTEREST... |
| 00:33:37 |
|
FIRST, I HAVE NO ANGER AT HER. I THINK WE GOT CAUGHT UP IN THE PROCESS. THINK ABOUT MY LIFE. WHERE... |
| 00:34:22 |
|
MOST OF THE TIME YOU ARE GIVING YOUR OWN SPEECHES, BUT THERE IS A CERTAIN TEMPERAMENT. |
| 00:34:29 |
|
I HAVE BEEN TO LAW SCHOOLS, AND YOU HAVE BEEN THERE. I HAVE BEEN TO DINNERS WERE THERE WITH PEOPLE... |
| 00:34:42 |
|
THATTHAT IT IS A PART OF THEIR EFFORT TO HARM, BUT THAT IS THEIR BUSINESS. WHAT I SAID IN THIS BOOK... |
| 00:35:15 |
|
ARE YOU GOING ON A BOOK TOUR? |
| 00:35:20 |
|
NOT BOOKSTORES, BUT THERE ARE SOME EVENTS THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION IS PUT ON. |
| 00:35:30 |
|
IN THE BOOK, YOU SPEAK A LOT ABOUT YOUR BELIEF IN GOD. I WANT TO BE ONE -- TO READ ONE PARAGRAPH ON... |
| 00:36:29 |
|
DID THAT SOUND BETTER TO YOU? |
| 00:36:32 |
|
I WANTED TO ASK YOU, THAT WHOLE SENSE OF -- THAT WHOLE SERIES OF THE REJECTED GUY, AMBIVALENT ABOUT... |
| 00:36:45 |
|
FIRST, I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE A CYNICAL AND NEGATIVE PEOPLE THAT WILL SPIN THAT A LOT OF WAYS.... |
| 00:38:43 |
|
WHEN HAD LOST FAITH COMPLETELY? -- WHEN HAD YOU LOST IT COMPLETELY? |
| 00:38:52 |
|
BY 1968 I WAS PRETTY MUCH DONE. |
| 00:38:55 |
|
YOU HAD BEEN A CATHOLIC SINCE YOUR GRANDPARENTS? |
| 00:38:58 |
|
I HAVE BEEN TO SEMINARY, AND I THINK THE DAY BY VOCATION TO BECOME A PRIEST WAS DESOLATED. I WAS 19... |
| 00:39:53 |
|
WHAT TO READ OF TIME DID YOU BECOME AMBIVALENT? |
| 00:39:56 |
|
I WENT THROUGH THE PERIOD OF BEING ANGRY, WHEN I WAS REALLY ANGRY AT HOLY CROSS AS A YOUNG MAN, AND... |
| 00:40:40 |
|
WHEN DID IT REALLY KICK IN AGAIN AND HE BECAME A BELIEVER, AND YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY A STRONG BELIEVER?... |
| 00:40:47 |
|
WHEN I MET MY WIFE. SHE WAS A GIFT FROM GOD FOR ME. |
| 00:40:50 |
|
WHERE DID YOU MEET HER? |
| 00:40:53 |
|
I MET HER IN NEW YORK CITY AT A CONFERENCE. WE WERE INTRODUCED, AND WE TOOK A CAB TO DID IT -- TO... |
| 00:41:23 |
|
WHAT ATTRACTED YOU TO HER? |
| 00:41:26 |
|
SHE IS A GOOD PERSON, KIND, POSITIVE, BEAUTIFUL, BUT THEIR REAL REASON WAS THE KIDDER PEABODY. SHE... |
| 00:42:55 |
|
IN LATE "THE WASHINGTON POST" THEY WROTE THIS, THEY HUMILIATED HIM 16 YEARS AGO, AND THE JUSTICE MAKES... |
| 00:43:15 |
|
THAT IS JUST SPIN. YOU SEE ME. I AM SITTING HERE WITH YOU. HAVE YOU HEARD ANYBODY IN THIS BIT --... |
| 00:43:34 |
|
WHAT HAS BEEN THE ACTION OF YOUR FELLOW JUSTICES DO YOU WRITING THIS BOOK AND GETTING ALL OF THE ATTENTION... |
| 00:43:45 |
|
THEY HAVE BEEN ENORMOUSLY SUPPORTIVE. SOME KID BE ABOUT THE BOOK AND SAY THEY CANNOT TURN THE CHANNEL... |
| 00:44:32 |
|
EARLY ON, EVERYBODY WANTED ANITA HILL'S REACTION, AND SHE FINALLY WROTE A PIECE FOR "THE NEW YORK... |
| 00:44:41 |
|
NO. |
| 00:45:21 |
|
WHAT ELSE IS SHE GOING TO SAY? AND I DO NOT THINK -- MY BOOK IS NOT ABOUT HER. MY BOOK IS ABOUT A LIFE... |
| 00:46:17 |
|
ARMSTRONG WILLIAMS SAYS THAT YOU ARE A FREE MAN NOW. IS THAT TRUE? |
| 00:46:24 |
|
I HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANYTHING OFF MY CHEST. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT I GOT OFF MY CHEST. IT IS NOT ABOUT --... |
| 00:47:24 |
|
WOULD YOU RECOMMEND ANYBODY GO TO WHAT YOU HAVE GONE THROUGH? BUT I WOULD RECOMMEND PEOPLE STAND... |
| 00:47:30 |
|
WOULD YOU GO THROUGH THE WHOLE WASHINGTON EXPERIENCE OF KNOWING WHAT YOU KNOW NOW? |
| 00:47:36 |
|
FOR WHAT PURPOSE? I WOULD DO IT NOT TO BE PUSHED AROUND BY POLICE AND IN ORDER -- PUSHED AROUND BY... |
| 00:49:29 |
|
HE SAID YOU CARRY AROUND A LITTLE PRAYER. DO YOU STILL HAVE THAT? |
| 00:49:33 |
|
I DO NOT HAVE IT. I CARRIED IT WHEN I WAS AT THE EEOC. IT WAS PART OF MY JOURNEY TO MY FAITH TO CARRY... |
| 00:49:54 |
|
KEEP A CLEAR EYE TO LIVES AND, DO NOT FORGET YOUR PURPOSE AS GOD'S CREATURES. WHAT YOU ARE IN YOUR... |
| 00:50:28 |
|
I DO NOT HAVE IT IN MY WALLET I FAVOR IT IS THE WHITNEY OF HUMILITY -- MY FAVORITE IS THE LITANY OF... |
| 00:51:47 |
|
YOU WRITE ABOUT YOUR GREAT NEPHEW. HOW WOULD THAT RELATE TO YOU? |
| 00:51:54 |
|
HE IS MY SISTER'S GRANDSON. HE IS 16, AND HE WAS 6 WHEN WE STARTED RAISING HIM. |
| 00:52:01 |
|
IS HE STILL LIVING WITH YOU? |
| 00:52:04 |
|
YES, WE ARE RAISING HIM AS A SON. HE WILL BE AN ADULT WHEN HE GOES OUT. |
| 00:52:11 |
|
HOW ARE YOU DEALING WITH HIM, COMPARED WITH YOUR GRANDFATHER. |
| 00:52:17 |
|
I DO NOT HAVE A FARM. HE IS MORE OF A CHALLENGE THAN I WAS. THIS IS A DIFFERENT ERA, SO HE DOES SPORTS... |
| 00:53:04 |
|
YOU WRITE ABOUT JAMAL. WHERE IS HE? |
| 00:53:07 |
|
HE IS WORKING SOUTH OF HERE, AND HE IS A GREAT GUY. |
| 00:53:12 |
|
HOW OLD IS HE? |
| 00:53:13 |
|
HE IS 34. |
| 00:53:15 |
|
I AM NOT GOING TO DO THIS BECAUSE IT IS NOT MY ROLE, BUT I READ ON THE INTERNET THAT PEOPLE HAVE SAID... |
| 00:53:36 |
|
I RAISED HIM TO BE INDEPENDENT, AND I HAVE NEVER BURDENED HIM WITH BEING A PROPER OR BEING AN EXTRA... |
| 00:54:09 |
|
YOU ARE NEAR THE END OF YOUR INTERVIEWS FOR THE BOOK. |
| 00:54:12 |
|
I HOPE. |
| 00:54:15 |
|
YOU HAVE FINISHED WRITING IT. WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE? |
| 00:54:22 |
|
I THINK IT IS VERY HARD. IT IS ONE OF THE HEART IS UNDERTAKINGS I HAVE ENGAGED IN, BECAUSE -- ONE... |
| 00:55:11 |
|
WHAT WAS THE HARDEST PART? |
| 00:55:14 |
|
I THINK THE HARDEST PART TO WRITE WAS ABOUT DIFFICULT PARTS OF MY LIFE. IT WAS NOT HARD TO WRITE ABOUT... |
| 00:55:40 |
|
DID YOU GET EMOTIONAL? |
| 00:55:42 |
|
THAT WAS THE HARDEST PART, WRITING ABOUT MY GRANDPARENTS. |
| 00:55:46 |
|
THAT WAS AN EMOTIONAL TIME TRYING TO WRITE IT? |
| 00:55:48 |
|
OBVIOUSLY, YES. |
| 00:55:51 |
|
ARE YOU EVER GOING TO DO THIS AGAIN? |
| 00:55:53 |
