I'm not any kind of a bigot, I'm not.

There's so much bigotry that needs to be overcome.

My father's politics and ideas were, to me, unforgivable. He was a Jewish convert who became very anti-Semitic, and I didn't find the anti-Semitism forgivable.

My dad was a great dad.

My father was very outwardly religious.

I once had a lot of hatred, mainly toward my father, an alcoholic.

Again, I was influenced by my father, who was very much an atheist and took pride in combating the traditional or orthodox forms of Judaism, which his parents and which my mother's parents were very steeped in.

Do not give voice to bigotry.
