"They've had an inadequate education,
yet, in '76, the year of the Soweto riots,
:21:08
they took on great political responsibility.
Just makes you wonder at their maturity."
:21:13
It makes you realise that
the "crummy-childhood" theory,
:21:17
that everything can be blamed in
a Freudian fashion on a bad upbringing,
:21:21
just doesn't hold water.
:21:25
May I?
:21:31
What about being black in America?
:21:35
Well, my problem is I've never felt
American. I grew up in Switzerland.
:21:40
Boarding school. Villa Rosey.
:21:42
There's a boarding school in Switzerland
that will take you at age 18 months.
:21:47
No, no, no, no. That's not me. I've never
felt people liked me for my connections.
:21:53
And movie-star-kid problems?
None of those.
:21:57
I never knew I was black in that racist way
till I was 16 and came back here.
:22:01
Very, very protected.
:22:04
White servants.
:22:06
After the divorce, we moved to
Switzerland - my mother, brother and I.
:22:10
I don't feel American. I don't even feel
black. I suppose that's very lucky for me.
:22:16
Even though Freud says
there's no such thing as luck.
:22:19
Does Freud say that?
I think we're lucky having this dinner.
:22:23
- Flan, can we eat in the dining room?
- Dining room.
:22:28
Now, now, don't look at
the sewing machine.
:22:39
So, is everything OK?
:22:41
- This is the best pasta I've ever tasted.
- The best!
:22:44
- My father insisted we learn to cook.
- He's from Jamaica, isn't he?
:22:48
There's a taste of, um...
:22:50
- The islands.
- Yes. Yeah.
:22:52
Yes, before he made it,
he ran four restaurants in Harlem.
:22:55
- You, sir, have good buds.
- "Good buds?"
:22:58
I've never been
complimented on my buds.
