White Americans have a short memory.

I felt so conflicted about having fled the rez as a kid that I created a whole literary career that left me there.

My career means, if you're a non-Indian writing about Indians, at least there's one Indian in your rearview mirror.

I was a controversial figure on my reservation when I was a kid. I was mouthy and opinionated and arrogant. Nothing has changed.

Competition gives birth to a lot of success, and if no one ever challenged you, you wouldn't go anywhere. It makes sense to compete with others for a promotion at work. But so many women take it a step further and won't even support other women. They end up competing over things that don't make sense - like how we look.

I never thought I'd make the pages of 'Sports Illustrated', because I've always been skinny.

I think track is still one of the most exciting participant sports, but we haven't been able to capitalize on that excitement through television and the print media.

I think how football works, the way you have to look at football, that is the difference between Leicester and Newcastle. There is big motivation here to keep growing and to get better here at Leicester. I didn't feel they had it at Newcastle.
