When the interviewer tried to pigeonhole him as a gay writer, Baldwin stopped and said, "But don't you see? There's nothing in me that is not in everybody else, and nothing in everybody else that is not in me."
Kada ga je novinar pokušao smjestiti u ladicu s homoseksualnim piscima, Baldwin je zastao i rekao, "Ali, zar ne vidite? U meni nema ničeg čega nema i u svakom drugom čovjeku, i u drugima nema ničeg čega nema i u meni."
