All people - african, european, american - worry about being different. but i've learned that the traits we'd rush to get rid of are the very ones that others desire. people always covet what they don't have. that's why we should look at ourselves every now and then and say, 'i'm proud of myself. i like the way i'm made.'

More From Freida Pinto

California is a tragic country — like palestine, like every promised land. its short history is a fever-chart of migrations — the land rush, the gold rush, the oil rush, the movie rush, the okie fruit-picking rush, the wartime rush to the aircraft factories — followed, in each instance, by counter-migrations of the disappointed and unsuccessful, moving sorrowfully homeward.

One of the things that made the black muslim movement grow was its emphasis upon things african. this was the secret to the growth of the black muslim movement. african blood, african origin, african culture, african ties. and you'd be surprised - we discovered that deep within the subconscious of the black man in this country, he is still more african than he is american.

If you covet fame, if you covet all the superficial accolades, you're gonna be miserable 'cause you're never going to get enough praise. if you covet contributing something substantive to movies, music, literature, then you won't be unhappy.

I think the only way one can really determine whether extremism in the defense of liberty is justified, is not to approach it as an american or a european or an african or an asian, but as a human being. if we look upon it as different types, immediately we begin to think in terms of extremism being good for one and bad for another, or bad for one and good for another. but if we look upon it, if we look upon ourselves as human beings, i doubt that anyone will deny that extremism in defense of liberty, the liberty of any human being, is no vice.

I find that people today tend to use them interchangeably. i use african-american, because i teach african studies as well as african-american studies, so it's easy, neat and convenient. but sometimes, when you're in a barber shop, somebody'll say, "did you see what that negro did?" a lot of people slip in and out of different terms effortlessly, and i don't think the thought police should be on patrol.

To go in the direction that i went takes a lot of work. and i don't think you can do the work - the five or six hours of working out a day - if you don't have a clear goal or know why you're doing it. if you just hang out at the gym and train for five or six hours a day without a goal is almost impossible.
