If there are [any good white people], I haven't met them. Where are they?

When I see how far we came from in 1984, when for the very first time, I competed in an event that was not allowed for women, which is the 400m hurdles, and all of a sudden now we see women running marathons like men, competing in boxing, in wrestling …we will witness a fantastic summer Olympic Games in Paris.

My songs always sound a lot better in person than they do on the record.
