And having grown up in a segregated city, Baltimore, Maryland, I sort of use that idea to go around America with a tape recorder -- thank God for technology -- to interview people, thinking that if I walked in their words -- which is also why I don't wear shoes when I perform -- if I walked in their words, that I could sort of absorb America.
我长在马里兰州的巴尔迪摩，一个偏僻的城市， 带着祖父告诉我的这个信念和一个录音机，我周游美洲 我要感谢科技 采访各式各样的人，想象如果我能走进他们的故事中-- 这也是我在表演的时候不穿鞋的原因-- 如果我能走进他们的故事，我多少能够领悟这个国家。
