Fresh Air
Best Of: Lucy Liu / Zadie Smith

You can have all kinds of ideas about who you are, but your life shows you.

Fresh Air
Best Of: Lucy Liu / Zadie Smith

So I'm kind of finding out as I go along.

Fresh Air
Best Of: Lucy Liu / Zadie Smith

By accident, yeah, but that's not something I ever would have, you know, chosen.

Fresh Air
Best Of: Lucy Liu / Zadie Smith

They did.

Fresh Air
Best Of: Lucy Liu / Zadie Smith

They thought it was suicide.

Fresh Air
Best Of: Lucy Liu / Zadie Smith

I was smoking a cigarette, which is one of the many life-shortening activities I've participated in over the decades, yeah.

Fresh Air
Best Of: Lucy Liu / Zadie Smith

Because my mom had kind of laid down the law and said no more smoking, so I was trying to do it surreptitiously and it went wrong.

Fresh Air
Best Of: Lucy Liu / Zadie Smith

Were you injured?

Fresh Air
Best Of: Lucy Liu / Zadie Smith

I was badly injured, yeah.

Fresh Air
Best Of: Lucy Liu / Zadie Smith

I broke my right leg.

Fresh Air
Best Of: Lucy Liu / Zadie Smith

Very, very badly.

Fresh Air
Best Of: Lucy Liu / Zadie Smith

Like the whole femur smashed in half and I had all kinds of smaller fractures.

Fresh Air
Best Of: Lucy Liu / Zadie Smith

I mean, it's still a thing.

Fresh Air
Best Of: Lucy Liu / Zadie Smith

People tell me I limp when it gets cold and it certainly gives me pain sometimes.

Fresh Air
Best Of: Lucy Liu / Zadie Smith

Yeah, that's the case.

Fresh Air
Best Of: Lucy Liu / Zadie Smith

Yeah?

Fresh Air
Best Of: Lucy Liu / Zadie Smith

Yeah, I was very melancholy and...

Fresh Air
Best Of: Lucy Liu / Zadie Smith

Quite isolated, I guess.

Fresh Air
Best Of: Lucy Liu / Zadie Smith

I read a lot.

Fresh Air
Best Of: Lucy Liu / Zadie Smith

I stayed at home a lot.
