I think that it's hard enough being an adolescent and wanting so much to fit in with your peers, your schoolmates, and to erase any sign of difference, to be part of the group. And being biracial but also being black in a predominately white school marked me as different.

Natasha Trethewey

Give me a black man, a white woman, a giraffe, a zebra anything but another white man! That last one f***ed up my roof!

Chris Rock

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.

Halle Berry

Having a Republican candidate speak at the NAACP convention is like trying to build a house starting at the roof. If you don't have a foundation, the roof isn't going to stand.

J. C. Watts

You were the one who hit me on the roof? I hit you on the jaw. We just happened to be on a roof at the time.

Darynda Jones

My skating brought me to a level of being well known in Canada, but I've grown up having trained in the U.S. I haven't lost my roots in Canada thanks to the little rpminders again when I come home: People thanking me for what I do and for representing Canada in the world stage.

Patrick Chan

If you're throwing someone off a roof, you're throwing them off the roof. It's there. You don't have to do anything extra with that. The audience is obviously going to react to that because it's such a heightened thing to do. But in the other moments, you really look for ways to craft those, because they're more important, honestly.

Mahershala Ali

Being bisexual, being bipolar, being biracial - it's been used to define me, but I am desperate to be indefinable.

Halsey

He told me once to be brave, and though I have stood still while knives spun toward my face and jumped off a roof, I never thought I would need bravery in the small moments of my life. I do.

Veronica Roth

For those who are on the roof become insolent as they don't know yet about the slope and the slipperiness of the roof!

Mehmet Murat Ildan

'Having it all,' to me, means having my family, having health, my kids' health, a roof over our heads, everybody fed.

Ayesha Curry

I think being biracial is a different experience. I think that, and coming from the U.K., I feel as much white as I do black. And so it's really important for me to address these issues of identity in my work. But also, you know, we're always stronger when we work on, you know, what we have in common. And I love exploring that in my work.

Gugu Mbatha-Raw

No bribes. Nothing that passes under the roof of a temple Or under the roof of the mouth, can appease heaven's anger Or deflect its aim.

Aeschylus

I jumped off a platform, was supposed to land on a roof and slide down it, but I cleared the roof and landed on my ankle - snapped that to one side.

Richard Madden

I'm kind of in a middle space, being marketed as a biracial actor. Roles are written either stereotypically black, or they're written 'normal,' which is just code for white.

Jesse Williams

My dad is Caucasian, and my mom is African American. I'm half black and half white. Being biracial paints a blurred line that is equal parts staggering and illuminating.

Meghan Markle
