Nina Simone: I sure damn did!
Presenter: Did you?

Presenter: Why?
Nina Simone: Because *BEEP* oh dear. Because there was a record company [she laughs]
Nina Simone: .
Presenter: You were about to say something you shouldn't ...
Nina Simone: I can't say! Because there was a record company who stole my album and didn't pay me and they came to Switzerland, and I said 'where's my money?' and they said 'we're not going to give you any money !' and I said 'oh yes you are' and I got a gun - it was a gun! wasn't a knife it was a gun - and I followed him to a restaurant and I tried to kill him! I missed and I went back to America.
