I was born two months early, and everyone had given up on me. But my mother insisted on my life.

But my dad also was a remarkable man, a good person, a principled individual, a man of integrity.

I never had an occasion to question color, therefore, I only saw myself as what I was... a human being.

We all suffer from the preoccupation that there exists... in the loved one, perfection.

As a man, I've been representative of the values I hold dear. And the values I hold dear are carryovers from the lives of my parents.

I knew what it was to be uncomfortable in a movie theater watching unfolding on the screen images of myself - not me, but black people - that were uncomfortable.

Jackie Robinson is a true legend.
