If you write a written book, you're gonna get slowed up by lawyers wanting to see what you say about this person, that person - I couldn't be bothered with it.

People only say I'm angry because I'm black and I'm a woman. But all sorts of people write with strong feeling, the way I do.

Lawyers are men who hire out their words and anger.

I am not an angry guy. It's just the roles I do that impact my personality.

I'm not an angry kind of person. What I am is a principled person.

I don't even use profanity when I'm angry. I think people expected I'd have written a nice romance or something.

I accrued anger from people's low opinion of me and my work, and for the work I might be capable of.

I'm not angry, I'm not an angry person, but I do sometimes like playing with the perception of anger, as in pretending that I'm more angry than I actually am, and sometimes it works quite well.

Writing doesn't come easily to me. It gets more and more difficult.

I've always been one of those people that, if I am angry, I just hold it in. And I always kind of, like, wrote it in a song and put it aside for myself because it helps me get it out. It's almost like exercising; it's almost like that for me.
