♪ [theme] >> shad: hey, what's up? i'm shad and this is q. today on the program: kate mulgrew. she was captain janeway on star trek and the memorable red on netflix's orange is the new black. now, she's released a memoir titled born with teeth. she has a generous, open-hearted conversation with tom power. that's first up. >> kate mulgrew: it's such a brief moment, life. really brief. you're 28 and you think you've got a long time, but i can tell you, honey, it's over fast. >> shad: and pras. he talks about the newly released documentary, sweet micky for president, which recounts the story of haiti's most controversial musician running for president following the 2010 earthquake. pras michel, former member of the fugees in a feature conversation. that's coming up.

you said that if martelly doesn't win the people will "burn the country down." >> pras: i probably shouldn't have said that. brother, it was brilliant. it was great for the movie. >> shad: finally: leon bridges. he's been making waves following critically acclaimed performances at south by southwest. he's been earning comparisons to the late, great sam cooke. he performs off his newest album, coming homlater in the show. i'm shad. this q. ♪ [theme] >> red [kate mulgrew]: you called my food disgusting! you're not getting hazed. you're not getting harassed. you're getting starved--to death! you'll leave litchfield as a skeleton in a body bag! pow! now march your yuppie ass out of my kitchen!

slowly, so you don't burn too many calories. >> shad: she's feisty as red on orange is the new blaand she was a noble leader as captain janeway on star trek. now, kate mulgrew shows her strength off screen in a new memoir called born with teeth. she has a candid conversation with tom power where she shares inspiring stories about how she survived violent sexual abuse and giving up a child for adoption. hers are stories of survival. kate mulgrew q. >> tom power: i do want to talk about your new memoir. it's callborn with teeth. >> kate: did you read it? >> tom: i certainly did. >> kate: you did? >> tom: i did. >> kate: put your hand up. >> tom: i did. >> kate: hand to god. >> tom: i swear to god i did, and i really enjoyed it. you are--but i wanted to talk about why you wrote this book. and you replied it was because "i want to be known." >> kate: right. >> tom: and as someone in the public eye i want to know what being known means to you. >> kate: well when you play other characters for 40 years as an actress, i wouldn't say you hide behind them, but it's a commodious cloak to wear, isn't it? and it shields the actor from a great many things.

and as i approached 60, having led a very complex, rich, challenging, often difficult life, i wanted to be known for who i am. it's, um--i suppose it's existential, you can call it whatever you like, but it certainly is a moment of recognition. i wouldn't say that it was epiphanic. i mean i just--it dawned on me that it was time, and i wanted to leave something. it's an important feeling. i wanted to leave, not a mark, but perhaps a legacy with the knowledge of who i truly was, and the vulnerable person who is deeply me. >> tom: but you say i'm irish. we are private people. we keep it close to the vest. we keep it quiet. and believe you me, i know all about that. what sort of challenges did you have to overcome from that personal privacy, that family privacy? >> kate: well i had to be sure that my parents were dead. >> tom: oh! >> kate: okay. because i--

>> tom: you don't think you could have written this when they were alive? >> kate: no, absolutely not. >> tom: why is that? >> kate: well, because i'm honest about my parents. and i'm honest about what they did to each other, what they did to me, the affect they had on me and my siblings and my family and my life. there is--you know, it's an irish thing, not a stoicism, but a kind of pride that i would call almost false. it is so rigorous. it is--you know, the irish wear this with great pride, don't we, that we keep it to ourselves and we don't-- i'm not so sure that that's the best way when you have led a life as i have led. perhaps, my journey should be shared, as a journey that was intended to be shared. so, i'm 60 now, and i'm free of those ropes, which could have hung me, but didn't. and i think they're just--now i need to just reach out. it's quite a feeling of wanting to do that. >> tom: it's such a joy to talk

to you. a through line in this book involves another very painful, extremely personal moment in your life. >> kate: yeah. >> tom: you were in your early 20s. >> kate: yeah. >> tom: you had a baby early on in your career. you had a daughter. >> kate: mm hmm. >> tom: and you decided to give her up for adoption. why was that story for you, why was that important for you to share to the public at large? >> kate: because i think a lot of women--a lot of women get pregnant, and for all of them it's a terrible moment of reckoning. this is, you know, we're talking about life. we're talking about having to make a decision. and it was very clear to me what my decision was going to be. i had hoped against hope that my mother would help me. >> tom: mm hmm. >> kate: i was making a little money and i thought perhaps if she could help me in the beginning months or years i would provide for a nanny and blah, blah, blah, but she couldn't. my sister, tess, had just died and she said, "no, that's not going to do. that would be untenable and completely unacceptable from your father's point of view, so

you need to march over to the catholic charities and find yourself a good social worker and do the brave thing, do the right thing. "go deep on this one, kitten, and step up to the plate because you've made a mistake, and now you have to do the right thing." so i followed my mother's counsel, as i had always done, almost by rote, because i don't think it was my nature, you know? and i did give the baby up for adoption and instantly regretted it and spent the next 21 years trying to find her. >> tom: and even one of the most impactful moments in this book is you don't even get to hold your baby when she was born. but you do write, and i can't imagine this, about having to do a scene a few days later, on your soap opera, ryan's hope. your character was a new mother bringing her baby home from the hospital for the first time. and you had just given your baby up for adoption. what was the scene like that day holding that baby in your arms? >> kate: that was harder than the actual birth itself, arguably even harder than the renunciation.

and that's why i called that chapter "ransom." there's a price. oh, baby, there's a price, that you just--you don't know if you can, the cost is so high, pay it. so when i went to work that day, it was three days after the birth of the baby. claire lemoine, my great friend, who saved me, she wrote it into the story. i was allowed to come to term on ryan's hope. six million people watched it. >> tom: i don't want to give away the end of the book which is--which is fascinating. but it's missing a few of the chapters of your life, including the latest one. why not write about your life up until this point? why end the book when you did? >> kate: it was just an organic thing. >> tom: yeah? >> kate: it was like music. that was the end note. it was a grace note and i thought it was right. i mean, there may be more to come about what's happened since then, but that--that was the right time and the right way to end this particular book. >> tom: so many autobiographies hope to inspire future generations of either actors or

maybe just people. one thing that i loved about the book is that you were able to take your own kind of message from it, your own kind of lessons from the book. i'm wondering what was it that you wanted people to take away after closing the novel, or closing the book, i should say? >> kate: that we all carry, uh--i think we all carry our suffering too--too much inside. >> tom: think so? >> kate: yeah, i do. i think, um, it's such a brief moment, life, really brief. >> tom: mm hmm. >> kate: you're 28 and you think you've got a long time. but i can tell you, honey, it's over fast. i think the one thing we have to do is stand up to one another and say, "this is how i've suffered. this is how i've loved. this is who i've become, and this is why." >> tom: kate, i can't thank you enough for coming here today. it's been a joy speaking to you. >> kate: my joy! you're great! >> tom: i thank you so much, and i had--i'm happy to say i read the whole book, especially now. >> kate: i hope.

the people. ♪ what a man, what a man, what a man ♪ what a mighty good man ♪ say it again nowiti. >> shad: after the devastating earthquake in 2010 in haiti, fugee's bandmates pras michel and wyclef jean decided to get involved in politics, but on opposing sides. a new documentary called sweet micky for presidetells the story of that divide in those historic elections in haiti where controversial haitian superstar singer sweet micky decides to run for president. pras michel joined me in studio q to tell his captivating story of those elections. pras michel on q. so this story begins with the 2010 earthquake in haiti. what was your reaction when you first started to see these images? >> pras michel: a bit distraught. i couldn't believe it. i just kind of like wanted to do something, not quite sure what it was. but i ain't just going to stand

by and just let it just unfold in front of me. >> shad: a lot of people tried to get involved by donating or giving aid but you wanted to get political. >> pras: yeah. >> shad: why? >> pras: i never really believe in donations so much. you know, i think donation is fine, but it's also big business. and you know when everything starts to get big business the people really--that need the donation, the end user, don't usually get it, you know. so i figure there's another way to help and that's when i tapped in michel martelly to run for president. >> shad: sweet micky is not the most conventional persona to run for president. he's shown in the film shirtless, et cetera. why do you think sweet micky was the man for the job? when you look at history, globally, um, sometimes when something drastic happens you need what i

call a reset button. he was the reset. he was that guy like, we are not going to drown in our sorrows, despite we had 200,000 plus haitians die during the earthquake, definitely condolences go out to all their families but haitians were like, "it happened. it happened for a reason, but we're not going to stop. and we're just going to celebrate. and we need to celebrate." and i thought the best way for them to celebrate is to elect this unconventional guy who everybody knew him as a clown, they continue and you guys make it to the second round. and then you sparked a bit of controversy mid campaign during a tv interview you said that if martelly doesn't win the people will "burn the country down." what goes through your mind when you listen back to that? >> pras: i mean--i probably

shouldn't have said that. brother, it was brilliant. it was great for the movie. [laughter] >> shad: and your efforts paid off. martelly is now haiti's president. take us back to that day for a second. what did it feel like when you won the election? >> pras: oh man, it was surreal. it was like, "wow." but it was more like, i kept looking at it as what it's going to do for the country. you know obviously now when i'm looking back at it four years later, you know i look at all the things that happened, what could have happened, what didn't happen. but in that moment-- >> shad: mm hmm. >> pras: it was like, 'cause this is the--that was the third democratic election in 207 years. i mean that--you got to remember, america is the first independent country in this hemisphere, right? haiti's the second, by 60 years

later. i mean, haiti's the oldest black republic. the next country, black republic, to get its independence was ghana in 1958. that's almost 150 years later. so, with that deep history it only had three democratic elections? i mean that's deep when you think about it. so it was like, wow, it wasn't where anyone died or anything happened. 'cause usually when we're talking about haitian election, it's war, man. i mean people burn things. they--people get killed. this one was virtually peaceful. they protested when he didn't get into the second round 'cause they felt like who they voted for wasn't representing them, right? but no one died. no one got killed, which is major progress for a country like haiti. >> shad: so you were thinking

more like, "wow, i'm a part of history right now?" >> pras: i wasn't really thinking about i'm a part of history 'cause i didn't look at it like that. i looked at it like, "wow, he's going to come in and gonna help to inspire the rest of the country, not just haiti, but haitians abroad. and where we can come together and start to develop a country." now in hindsight, i look back at it like, okay, you know, i still don't look at it like i made history. i mean people tell me but i just look at it like that was my job, you know? it's--for me being blessed to do what i do as a musician, to have all the success, to me, that was the least i could do is give back to 15 million haitians that can't do it for themselves. >> shad: and how do you feel about sweet micky's presidency now? >> pras: that's another segment. [laughter] >> shad: last thing i want to ask you, how is making this documentary changed you? >> pras: you know what's great is to see, you know, it's your own people that's usually the hardest critics, right? >> shad: mm hmm. >> pras: but to get, you know, a lot of haitians have seen it,

for them to love it and feel proud, that's like a great moment. and it has inspired me to keep doing more things of merit that has--it still could be entertaining-- >> shad: mm hmm. >> pras: but things that matters, you know, to--for everyone. >> shad: thanks, pras. >> pras: thanks for having me, man. hethat's it. night, i need to kick acid with rolaids® advanced. it goes to work instantly on your worst heartburn, bloating, and gas. that's better. kick acid and gas with rolaids® advanced. it appears. is that a dark spot? new gold bond dark spot minimizing cream for body. targeted treatment: results begin in 4 weeks. gold bond.
