“The sports world provides a great platform for racial discussions. It's also one of the few places in society where, 99 percent of the time, performance trumps race. Most times, but not always.”

“Yes, I discuss race openly, honestly and, hopefully, intelligently.”

“If the lead line in my obituary is 'She once tweeted that the president is a white supremacist,' I will see my life as a professional disappointment.”

“Two things you almost always see when 'MTV Cribs' features a black superstar: a poster of Tony Montana and a poster of the Godfather. Montana and Michael Corleone, though fictional, are considered heroes by young black men everywhere.”

“If you've ever seen photos of LeBron James away from the basketball court, it's obvious he takes great pride in his appearance.”

“When I was at The Orlando Sentinel as a sports columnist, it was embarrassing that I was the only black female sports columnist at a daily newspaper in North America.”

“But I'm proud to come from a family of Republicans and, yes, we have some spirited discussions in our family.”

“When you are signing a film, you should not miss the beginning process which involves workshops and discussions; otherwise, it is difficult to understand the character.”

“A standard 'well woman' checkup can last as little as 10 minutes, hardly time for any in-depth discussions.”

“As for tweeting and texting: impassioned discussions, particularly when they're intimate, don't work in abbreviated script messages. No relationship should begin or end in 140 characters.”

“If I have the choice of traveling to Russia, India or New Zealand alone for a week for preliminary discussions or to spend that week with my family, I routinely choose my family.”

“I don't get into these long-winded heavy discussions about character - do we do this or that or what. At the end of the day, what you gotta do is just go out there and do it.”
