Sports and entertainment have always been windows of opportunity for African Americans, when other doors were closed.

This being Black History Month, I would like to ask people to celebrate the similarities and not focus on the differences between people of color and not of color.

I was not a very good football player when I started out.

I enjoy playing the game. It's hard for me to just watch it, even while broadcasting.

Some people play very, very well just so they won't get embarrassed.

Take the time to discover how African-Americans have had a great impact on this country. In science, education, literature, art, and politics.

When I was in college there was a girls' flag football league. The girls were extremely aggressive.

I took several years of dance lessons that included ballet, tap and jazz. They helped a great deal with body control, balance, a sense of rhythm, and timing.

I believe that today's players who are Christians feel that it's important and their responsibility to acknowledge their faith.

Very often we see coaches who have not been successful being recycled, instead of looking to a new face or a new name who has demonstrated the ability to handle the job.

If a player demonstrated that he is the best, and a team decides, even so, we don't want to pay him, as in any other business, he should be able to play elsewhere.

Our job is...To listen more than we speak.To follow more than we lead.To love more than we receive.To forgive more than we've been forgiven.To remember more than we forget.

You stole my story and something's got to be done about it.

I would fix other people's lines if they asked me on occasion. The hard part of writing is the architecture of it, getting the story and structuring it. Not the tweaking of lines.

Today, few terrorist organizations still employ the 'al-Qaeda model' in which individuals travel to terrorist training camps overseas and then are deployed to the West to inflict atrocities.

Negro banks, as a rule, have failed because the people, taught that their own pioneers in business cannot function in this sphere, withdrew their deposits.

You want to invent new ideas, not rules

Leaving [from EU] will allow us to return real democratic control to important areas of national life; from international trade, the right to work and live in Britain to business regulation.

Only when you are absolutely devoted to what you do, can you produce something significant in the world.

I didn't have any inhibitions. I saw Elvis and Gene Vincent, and I thought, "Well, I can do this." And I liked doing it.

It is a massive, undeniable failure and a heap of broken promises.
