“As I was sitting there, the deejay was playing music and talking over ...” — Sylvia Robinson Quote

“As I was sitting there, the deejay was playing music and talking over the music, and the kids were going crazy. All of a sudden, something said to me, 'Put something like that on a record, and it will be the biggest thing.' I didn't even know you called it rap.”

“I saw this DJ playing music and saying things to the kids. They would answer him back, and I say, 'That's a great idea.'”

“I never liked to copy things that are out there. I always like to come up with something new, something different.”

“My biggest thing is, I'm learning what it's like to carry myself in a personal way and also a professional way: how I can be a leader and do multitasking.”

“I think the biggest thing to being an elite-level bobsledder is grit. You have to really want it. It's a very blue-collar sport. We do a lot of the work ourselves; we sand the runners, we wash the sled, we help maintain the sled. Obviously, we have a sled mechanic that travels with us, but a lot of the work we do ourselves.”
