Seven out of 10 black faces you see on television are athletes. The black athlete carries the image of the black community. He carries the cross, in a way, until blacks make inroads in other dimensions.

I'm learning to use others' weaknesses. I don't hammer a man's soft spot constantly, because he may strengthen it. I just save it as a trump up my sleeve for moments when I really need a point.

I strongly believe the black culture spends too much time, energy and effort raising, praising, and teasing our black children about the dubious glories of professional sports.

Let me put it this way: I think Republicans tend to keep the ball in play, Democrats go for broke.

When bright young minds can't afford college, America pays the price.

I guess I started too early because I just thought it was something fun to do.

When we were together, I loved you deeply and you gave me so much happiness I can never repay you.
