Here's a recent 14 minute interview she did. As ever, she speaks beautifully and is engaging to watch:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1T9CEjjRzE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1T9CEjjRzE
In the video she mentions having "already been paid for" (paraphrasing - don't have time to rewatch video at the moment). She uses a similar phrase in her Clinton poem and other interviews.
As I understand it, it's her concept that all the people who went before you to make your life better (moving countries to seek a better life, fighting slavery, fighting wars, getting the right to vote or whatever) paid a price long ago to make your life better. The only way to pay that debt back is to make life better for those yet to come.
- js2 12y agoLovely interview. Asked about her frailty: "What I really want to do is be a representative of my race, of the human race. I have a chance to show how kind we can be. How intelligent and generous we can be. I have a chance to teach and to love and to laugh and I know that when I finish doing what I was sent here to do, I will be called home. And I will go home without any fear [or] trepidations."
- goatforce5 12y agoI think she says "trepidation... some. Wondering what's going to happen..." She sort of changed thought midstream. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1T9CEjjRzE#t=11m53s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1T9CEjjRzE#t=11m53s I liked her incredulity when asked how she resolved her religious beliefs and views on homosexuality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1T9CEjjRzE#t=9m53s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1T9CEjjRzE#t=9m53s ...but just go watch the whole thing.
