I would not like to be the only woman on the court.

DACA recipients risk a lot to come out of the shadows & sign up, but many will tell you the risk is worth being able to live and work in the only country they’ve ever known as home. DACA recipients serve in our military, work in Fortune 100 companies, and conduct important medical research.

A lot of people in our industry haven’t had very diverse experiences. So they don’t have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one’s understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have.

Big jobs usually go to the men who prove their ability to outgrow small ones.

You may try but you can never imagine what it is to have a man’s form of genius in you, and to suffer the slavery of being a girl.

If I were a woman, I’d simply refuse to speak to any man or do anything for men until I’d got the vote.

I separated from the Southern Baptists when they adopted the discriminatory attitude towards women, because I believe what Paul taught in Galatians that there is no distinction in God’s eyes between men and women, slaves and masters, Jews and non-Jews – everybody is created equally in the eyes of God.

We can’t afford not to educate girls and give women the power and the access that they need.

I’m not looking to exclude people, I’m looking to include them.

The world, as a rule, does not live on beaches and in country clubs.

India has 2,000,000 gods and worships them all. In religion, all other countries are paupers; India is the only millionaire.

If you want to occupy the C-suite or the top one-tenth of 1% in any organization, you have to be obsessively devoted to your career at the expense of everything else. And women look at that, and they think, ‚No.‘

I want to support other women because of the opportunities I’ve had – and I’ve had a lot of opportunities. What I try as a female director is to do the best job I can and, in the meantime, bring attention to as many other female directors and writers as I can.

I have said this many times, that there seems to be enough room in the world for mediocre men, but not for mediocre women, and we really have to work very, very hard.

I’m very proud to be black, but black is not all I am. That’s my cultural historical background, my genetic makeup, but it’s not all of who I am nor is it the basis from which I answer every question.

SEALs are human beings. We may all have the same haircuts, but we aren’t robots. Some SEALs are great people. Some are not great people. Some have done unspeakably terrible things. You’re dealing with different people, different dreams, different desires.

The next time some academics tell you how important diversity is, ask how many Republicans there are in their sociology department.

The diversity of India, of our civilization, is actually a thing of beauty, which is something we are extremely proud of.

Everyone is different. Everyone has different teams they’ve played on, coaches they’ve played for.

A black person grows up in this country – and in many places – knowing that racism will be as familiar as salt to the tongue. Also, it can be as dangerous as too much salt. I think that you must struggle for betterment for yourself and for everyone.

When you’re traveling constantly, every day you become inspired, and it shows in my work, sonically, lyrically, visually. Conversations with women with different accents and stories told in those accents. I like to create characters based on different people I’ve met, and relationships. I like to tell stories loosely based on real-life events.

Maybe the ones burning my jersey were never LeBron fans anyway.

I have no interest in gender or race or anything like that. But everyone else is kind of, with their calculating – is this the exact right mix? I think that’s – to me it’s anti-comedy. It’s more about PC-nonsense.

As a woman I have no country. As a woman my country is the whole world.

I’ve never thought about any kind of prejudice about women in country music because I never felt like it affected me. I was fortunate enough to come about in a time when I didn’t feel that kind of energy at all, and it was always my theory that if you want to play in the same ballgame as the boys, you’ve got to work as hard as them.

Why, if someone is good in one field can they not be accepted or given the slightest opportunity to express and be creative in other fields?

I like everything. Boyish girls, girlish boys, the heavy and the skinny. Which is a problem when I’m walking down the street.

Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes.

February is always a bad month for TV sports. Football is gone, basketball is plodding along in the annual midseason doldrums, and baseball is not even mentioned.

We have created characters and animated them in the dimension of depth, revealing through them to our perturbed world that the things we have in common far outnumber and outweigh those that divide us.

Taylor Swift’s audience can listen to me, but so can the street kids. I want to touch it all.

If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge? We shouldn’t marginalise people for this. They must be integrated into society.

Tell me: when God looks at a gay person, does he endorse the existence of this person with love, or reject and condemn this person?… It is necessary to accompany them with mercy.

I don’t want to be called a point guard, but I can’t stop it.

There is no scriptural basis for segregation.

I’m not going to lie; listen, I’m nice at basketball.

Feminism… I think the simplest explanation, and one that captures the idea, is a song that Marlo Thomas sang, ‚Free to be You and Me.‘

So people are talking about revolution. What a revolution it would be to have a woman president.

I think many people in my community had very different kinds of mothers: they had mothers who acquiesced in the system of male and white-supremacist domination, and my mother never did. She just could not do it. It just wasn’t in her.

Woman was God’s second mistake.

I feel that there are a few things in the world without cultural barriers.

The poetry you read has been written for you, each of you – black, white, Hispanic, man, woman, gay, straight.

I think there ought to be a strict separation or wall built between our religious faith and our practice of political authority in office. I don’t think the President of the United States should extoll Christianity if he happens to be a Christian at the expense of Judaism, Islam or other faiths.

I’m going to try to unite all Americans.

There are a number of women who have brought about immense change in society.

I’m trying to show everybody that I’m a girl, and I’m five foot four, and you can do anything you want, no matter your gender. It’s your world, too!

One of the things that was really an issue was I did not want to just be a woman secretary of state. I wanted to be a secretary of a state who was a woman, but not just chosen for that particular reason.

Toleration is good for all, or it is good for none.

God tells us not to judge one another, no matter what anyone’s sexual preferences are or if they’re black, brown or purple.

I want people to follow their dreams, yes… but I’m not interested in telling young black kids how to be rappers… I want to show them that there’s so many other paths you can take, besides a rapper or basketball player.

When we have the ball, the other team has to run. The most important thing is for the players to be prepared to be a little bit wild.

If you’re white and you’re wrong, then you’re wrong; if you’re black and you’re wrong, you’re wrong. People are people. Black, blue, pink, green – God make no rules about color; only society make rules where my people suffer, and that why we must have redemption and redemption now.

Everyone does things differently on offense. Everyone’s goal is to score points.

The proper study of mankind is woman.

Whether women are better than men I cannot say – but I can say they are certainly no worse.

We have a tendency to condemn people who are different from us, to define their sins as paramount and our own sinfulness as being insignificant.

Racial prejudice, anti-Semitism, or hatred of anyone with different beliefs has no place in the human mind or heart.

It’s absolutely normal that different human beings want to go different ways.

If you want to appeal to everyone, you can’t do a world tour and expect black people to show up at every date – when you’re in Australia, when you’re in Dubai, when you’re in Indonesia.

We must restore hope to young people, help the old, be open to the future, spread love. Be poor among the poor. We need to include the excluded and preach peace.

The biggest thing is just routine. I think that’s the biggest correlation between golfers and basketball players.
