This guys is just crap, sorry. She deserved so much higher level of interviewer… the questions, gosh… The way he looks at his notes while she’s talking. 😒 She might have just thought : “oh well, let’s do this and go back home.” Anyway, very happy to see her and mesure her amazing and powerful prestance.

Charlie really doesn’t know how to not interrupt her 🙄🙄🙄gross. Still grateful to have this record of her words.

Parable of the Sower and the Talents is what got me through the pandemic. It gave me hope and I am forever grateful to Octavia Butler truly brilliant and prophetic mind

I'm 60 years old and just discovered Octavia Butler's wonderful books. She is now one of my favorite writers; Toni Morrison is the other.❤

"...sending my mind off some place it hasn't been before..." - the exact reason I picked up Kindred. What an author.

She is my favorite writer of all time and I will always be inspired by her works. Her art fuels my art❤

I was hospitalized for 37 days and, when I had enough energy, I went to thw patiwnt library. Ki dred was the only book (1) with a black person on the cover and(2) in large print. I grabbed it and thus commenced a love affair!

I am currently reading "Kindred" by Octavia Butler for my A.A. Studies class. So far, I am thoroughly impressed by how her mind works in writing novels. I am looking forward to reading the rest of her books as well. 💯

Gratitude for this soul. We get to see so much with these minds of our past but man what a jewel she is and I hope to meet her in one of my many realities. Rest here Goddess.

Wow I could listen to her thoughts for hours and hours. So fascinating.

Read her books, guys!

Man I wish I could sit down and talk to her.

Just finished reading "Dawn" (my first Butler book) - what a rare and amazing talent. I can't wait to start another one of her books.

I need to read her books! And the interviewer just kept Over talking her 🙄

I could become a writer or I could die really young, it wasn’t anything else I wanted

Such a treasure to hear her words and perspective!! But Charlie Rose is the WORST! Interrupting her constantly. Flipping through his notes. Looks like he can't wait to get on to the next guest. Her intellect is so vastly superior to his. Geesh.

Had the pleasure of meeting her any moons ago...very low key lady.

I think we can all learn from OEB. Humble, honest, sincere, great sense of humor, no time for stereotypes

Thanks for the upload

Ok very nice programm

["Parable of the Sower", by Octavia Butler, MAKE the movie! ] we need to make "Parable of the Sower" into a movie! why is it not ALREADY a movie?! this lady saw the future some 30+ years ago... well, that future is now, or almost now, like tomorrow, maybe a couple of years from now, but it's coming, as inevitable as an atmospheric river, blizzards in LA, massive widespread poverty, food riots, the scarcity of potable water, raging fires, guns, the whole kit'n'caboodle... it's happening right now, just getting rolling! you can hear the vast multitudes around the world, migrating, trying to live, be alive, have a life, families, friends, enemies, they are all moving, look at the borders... their porosity is only going to increase... can't stop it, this tsunami cannot be stopped... this lady saw the future, with the clarity of a vision, if we don't make this book into a movie right now, then no book should have ever been made into one

Infectious book. I can't wait to read the second. Can't help but like her in interviews too. Any suggestions of what book of her I should read after the sower books?
