I was one of the first people to learn that Jackie was going to marry Aristotle Onassis.

I always have been trying to work on the other side of Jackie, and that is, making sure that my appearance, that my image, is right; also, working in the job world, knowing how it is to wake up and go to a job.

I've met more than one person in their early 20s who has never heard of Jackie Onassis, though most girls have because she exists as a fashion icon.

Every time I look at my pocketbook, I see Jackie Robinson.

In the past when I was in Hollywood, I was like a dog. I felt humiliated. My English was not good. People would even ask me 'Jackie Who?'.

In my opinion, Jackie is the greatest female athlete ever.

Jackie had a keen eye for talent, and like an elephant never forgot. And, he was always right on the mark.

Jackie Chan is like a big bro to me.

How could you get angry with Jackie Gleason?

As I look out there and see the culture of baseball, a lot of blacks and Latins, it's given me a lot of joy to know that Jackie started that. If Jackie hadn't come in '47, me and Ron Santo wouldn't have played in Double-A and all those years in the big leagues.
