I realize that I'm black, but I like to be viewed as a person, and this is everybody's wish.

The less I talk about being black, the better.

There are so many people who have this idea of who I am because I'm black.

I consider myself a human being, a Christian, a father, a husband, so many things, before being a black person.

I'm black, I don't feel burdened by it and I don't think it's a huge responsibility. It's part of who I am. It does not define me.

I'm black because that's the way the world sees me.

I don't know that I constantly think about being a black woman.

I never had that thing about being black. If the whole world was like that, maybe there would be more harmony and love.

I don't carry myself as a black person but as a woman that belongs to everybody. After all, it's the general public that made me - not any one particular group. So I don't think of myself as belonging to any particular group and never have.

It's hard being black. You ever been black? I was black once - when I was poor.
