Growing up in a system that tells you just because of your skin colour you are not good enough - you learn at a very young age to toughen up.

I try to see the lightness of life, and that comes from having a hard time growing up.

I think a person of colour in any situation should be qualified to do the job. Not just because of the colour of their skin.

Our parents made a lot of sacrifices because dancing is not the cheapest sport. The dresses are expensive, so my mum learned to sew, and she started a catering company to pay for the lessons and the travel abroad for competitions.

I find it disturbing that the media keeps referring to my marriage, since I got divorced in 1979. But the media never wants to let me forget.

You will often be in despair. You will sometimes think it's the worst decision in your life. That's fine. That's not a sign your marriage has gone wrong. It's a sign that it's normal; it's on track. And many of the hopes that took you into the marriage will have to die in order for the marriage to continue.

I'm such a lover of golf, and I've been at the Masters a couple times, and I've been so blessed to get to play there.

I'm very confident in my sexuality, and I really don't like talking about my romantic life in the press.
