#me

I'm just one woman away, my mother, from being the same as Mike Tyson. I would've ended up like him if my mama had not been so tough and strong. A lot of people, including Mike, don't know I came from the ghetto. They think I'm too nice and proper. But that's the way my mama raised me - to look people in the eye and respect them. ↗

They don't show Olympic boxing on TV in prime time. They haven't done that since 1988. In 1992, they showed one: Oscar De La Hoya. In 1996, they didn't show it. In 2000, they didn't show it. In 2004, they didn't show it. In 2008, they did not even mention boxing at all. You would think the United States didn't have a boxing team in 2008. ↗

I think every little girl's dream is to be a mermaid or to see a mermaid. [When I was younger] I would go to the beach and cover myself in the sand. People from different cultures and centuries have the same idea of what mermaids are ... so that's maybe a cool thing to think about. ↗

Hateful to me as the gates of Hades is that man who hides one thing in his heart and speaks another. ↗

Without a sign, his sword the brave man draws, and asks no omen, but his country's cause. ↗

My own mother always taught me that fairness was a family value - I think equal pay is about fairness for everyone. ↗

Security is not the meaning of my life. Great opportunities are worth the risk. ↗
