...well this US eight, with all its material occupying every seat just would not go fast. They rowed their hearts out but it never started to sing through the water. And no one ever found out why.

Those eight heavyweights had not time to develop the bond, the sacred trust, that can make a racing eight fly.
I've played football with George Best, the greatest footballer that ever lived. That doesn't make me a footballer. And I've sung a duet with Pavarotti. That doesn't make me an opera singer. I can write and I have a story to tell, but I'm not going to make a career out of it.

A lot of people started asking me about this woman director thing, which I never thought about before. And I'd never really thought about how there aren't really many female directors.

I've never thought that I would see any man of color, not just a black president, but any man of color, I never thought that I would live to see that.

But then he started picking up steam and that piqued my interest.

When I started my career, I always had the confidence that I would one day make it, but I never imagined that I would reach the heights at which the public has placed me.
