Doing 'Malcolm and Eddie' was probably the foremost miserable years of my life.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
'Malcolm X' was impressionable for me as a kid.
What changed our lives forever was when Malcolm had the idea to sell rock 'n roll records to trendy customers.
I love 'The Autobiography of Malcolm X.' That was like the only black book we read in high school.
I met Malcolm the month before he was killed. He deeply changed my mind about America.
My years on 'Family Matters' were precious to me. During the run of the show, I saw many births, deaths, weddings... The actual family on the show became my family.
My life was pretty rough.
It was the highlight of my life being in the Mae West show, because I saw and did things I never had before.
When I began my political career, I identified with Malcolm X.
If it had remained always my band, my natural tendency would have been to get more complex and arrange things more and more. That wouldn't necessarily be good for Eddie, or anyone else in the band.
Malcolm X made me very strong at a time I needed to understand what I was angry about. He had peace in his heart. He exerted a big influence on me.
