I was so focused on all of that, that it took me many hours, until my kids called, ironically. My kids both called and just left a little message that they were OK. And I turned around and went - Oh, man that really hit me like a ton of bricks - But most of the time we were spared that agony for the time being.

The truth of the matter is - and I'm always a bit reluctant to say this because people think you're a bit unfeeling. The truth of this, on 9/11, people who - myself and others - were so unbelievably focused on what was happening that we were, for many, many hours, I think, spared the agony of loss.

What we really want to do is to be left alone. We don't want Negroes around. We don't need Negroes around. We're not asking - you know, we don't want to have them, you know, for our culture. We simply want our own country and our own society. That's in no way exploitive at all. We want our own society, our own nation....
