I'm learning to accept the lack of privacy as the real downer in my profession.

Being biracial is sort of like being in a secret society. Most people I know of that mix have a real ability to be in a room with anyone, black or white.

If you set out to do something and you give it your all and it doesn't work out, be willing to modify your goal slightly. Have the ability to look in another direction. A small shift could guide you to the real purposes of your life.

I spent a lot of time with a crown on my head.

When I was a kid, my mother told me that if you could not be a good loser, then there's no way you could be a good winner.

The man for me is the cherry on the pie. But I'm the pie and my pie is good all by itself. Even if I don't have a cherry.
