People try to contain things by putting them into categories. I don't.

I really don't like to act. At the beginning, back in '51, I had to force myself to stick with it. I was real uncomfortable, real uncomfortable.

When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.

Everyone deserves not just to survive, but to live.

The world is as good as you are. You've got to learn to like yourself first.

When I walk out into the street or go to the toilet, I don't think of myself as being black. Of course, other people think of me as black when I walk into a pub. Obviously being black is a part of me.

I always feel I'm an amateur. I don't most of the time know what I'm doing.
