Every time I look at my pocketbook, I see Jackie Robinson.
So in fact the only thing you can judge in this sport its the longterm. You can judge a career or a season, but not one race.
You know, it's always good to have seen a track before, just to kind of know where the little bumps are here and there, and just the general feel for the size.
[from trailer] Branch Rickey: Jackie Robinson. A black man in white baseball.
The day of parochialism in sports is over. The world is too small for what people like to call 'the good old days.' Fans want the best, wherever they come from.
Jackie Kennedy was the most appropriately dressed first lady we've ever had. You can see how lasting Jackie's style is.
When I went to Brooklyn in 1948 Jackie Robinson was at the height of his brilliant career.
I love 'Enter the Dragon,' and I love Japanese movies. I love Jackie Chan movies; they are my heroes.
Jim Crow was king... and I heard a game in which Jackie Robinson was playing, and I felt pride in being alive.
After Jackie Robinson the most important black in baseball history is Reggie Jackson, I really mean that.
I think you can be happy and still be competitive. A good lesson for everybody is to think a bit before you speak and represent who you really are instead of the brash emotional you.
Jackie Brown: Aw, the milk went bad while I was in jail. Max Cherry: Black's fine.
Jackie Brown: What's the matter, haven't ever borrowed someone's car before? Max Cherry: Not after they're dead.
The martial arts that I got into was because of Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, because of all of the animal styles at the time. It was around about the time when Jackie was doing 'Drunken Master,' and, like, Snake versus this and that.
Jackie Robinson: I don't think it matters what I believe, only what I do.
Sometimes I think I could have got some better results if I had a different mentality; if I could have pushed hard and attacked. But then I would have had a good chance of making a mistake.
I think there's a lot of deep-rooted history in England with racing. Lots of Formula One teams are based there. Formula One is obviously a huge sport over in England and Europe.
Since I was kid, what's drawn me to racing is the feeling inside of me, the passion I have for the sport, the feeling I have while competing and doing what I do in a car, on a bike, whatever it's been.
Whenever I'm waiting behind the stage, it's kind of like my normal Jackie mode is me talking a lot, playing around, but superstar Jackie mode is me concentrating on making sure that this performance was going to be a great performance.
Being amongst rough lives and confusion does not make you less, it only makes your beauty shine out more clearly.
I'll be a lady tomorrow
