You've got to get to the stage in life where going for it is more important than winning or losing.

Racism is not an excuse to not do the best you can.

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.

Martina's like the old Green Bay Packers. You know exactly what she's going to do, but there isn't a thing you can do about it.

You learn about equality in history and civics, but you find out life is not really like that.

My potential is more than can be expressed within the bounds of my race or ethnic identity.

I take the good with the bad, and I try to face them both with as much calm and dignity as I can muster.
