I guess i'm depressed. i don't know. i can't explain it. part of it is the irritability of being 84, and part of it is being not as physically strong as i once was. and part of it is my misunderstanding, i think, of what's going on in the world.

More From Toni Morrison

If you keep on writing for three years, every day, you should be strong. of course, you have to be strong mentally, also. but in the first place, you have to be strong physically. that is a very important thing. physically and mentally you have to be strong.

This is my depressed stance. when you're depressed, it makes a lot of difference how you stand. the worst thing you can do is straighten up and hold your head high because then you'll start to feel better. if you're going to get any joy out of being depressed, you've got to stand like this.

It's really about taking something inherently negative, and starting with the word loser, starting with something that's negative, and changing it into something that's positive, redefining it, but doing it in a certain way, how - like i would say when i look out at the world and you see it's dark and it's just overbearing and every day is depressed, depressed, depressed. what it took was to change my perspective a little bit. not to change the world, to change my perspective.
Dark Perspective Negative
Every movie i do, i always use things that have happened in my life. funny moments, anything. if it just sticks out i'll write it down and use that, too, because it has to come out of you. but no one can work when they're depressed. i don't think i'd physically be able to do it if i were depressed.

It's difficult to explain love. you want to explain water? you need a book for it. there are many different ways to explain what water is. love is big, it's very big. i know that i have tons of it. but maybe we don't want to open up so much, and we think, maybe we don't have so much, but yes, you know that you have tons of love. we all do. through that love we can connect, we can heal each other, we can make people, all of us, happy, joyful, and make a better world.

I refer to the misunderstanding of soviet russia as an aggressive power, militaristically and ideologically bent upon world domination 'seeing', to quote a recent speech of the british prime minister, 'the rest of the world as its rightful fiefdom.' how any rational person, viewing objectively the history of the last thirty-five years, could entertain this 'international misunderstanding' challenges, if it does not defeat, comprehension. the notion has no basis in fact... if russia is bent on world conquest, she has been remarkably slothful and remarkably unsuccessful.
