Thank you, God, because I am lucky. Also let's face it, it turns out I'm black. And I'm having a career quite different from lots of people, so I feel doubly lucky.

I always wore sneakers when I wanted to. It was always about being comfortable and being myself.

Should I be worried about being a slave and being returned to slavery? Because certain things happened in the Constitution that had to change.

Just call me black, if you want to call me anything.

What I am is a humanist before anything - before I'm a Jew, before I'm black, before I'm a woman. And my beliefs are for the human race - they don't exclude anyone.

Normal is just a cycle on the washing machine.

I'd like everyone to imagine a world where you get a job as Tom, and then the next day you're Tina. Imagine you're in the world where you love what you do, but people say that you can't be who you are.
