I cannot be understood in three minutes.

I set my star so high that I would constantly be in motion toward it.

Mine was an easy ride compared to Jackie Robinson's.

I had two roles for which I compromised.

You don't have to become something you're not to be better than you were.

I lived in a country where I couldn't live where I wanted to live. I lived in a country where I couldn't go where I wanted to eat. I lived in a country where I couldn't get a job, except for those put aside for people of my colour or caste.

I learned to hear silence. That's the kind of life I lived: simple. I learned to see things in people around me, in my mom, dad, brothers and sisters.
