I couldn't adjust to the racism in Florida.

Of all my father's teachings, the most enduring was the one about the true measure of a man. That true measure was how well he provided for his children, and it stuck with me as if it were etched in my brain.

I have always been a learner because I knew nothing.

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.

If you apologize because you are afraid, then you are a child not a man.

I sometimes like the pictures photographers take of me.
