• En mi opinión, aunque los linchamientos fueron posiblemente los crímenes más atroces jamás presenciados en la historia de Estados Unidos, ayudaron a unir a la gente con un único propósito. Fue gracias a estos linchamientos que se creó la auto-resistencia armada. Si los blancos sabían que los negros eran capaces de defenderse, había menos posibilidades de que estallara la violencia.

• People often ask me if I feel discriminated against as a black female director. I don't. I'm actually offered a ton of stuff. But I only want to direct what I write. And I prefer to focus on black female characters. What's most important to me is to put characters up onscreen who are not perfect, but who are human and flawed.

• I've always said as a political scientist that "culture" is what we use when we can't explain things. I think it's more about accessibility. Part of the problem is that this is an expensive game [golf]. I know in a couple of places where there are black members, and they come from pretty much the same socioeconomic level that the white members come from.

• The world we live in is made up of polar opposites, black/white, male/female, night/day, and a human being who possesses both masculine and feminine – vulnerability and strength – is intriguing to us, whether they be a singer or actor or dancer, intrigues us, because THAT Is who we really are.

• I come out of the environment of the Deep South, where I had seen the millstone of racial discrimination weighting down my people, both the black people and the white people; and I had seen the enormous progress that we were able to make after we removed the legal restraints of a two-class society, with the whites superior and blacks inferior. So I was very convinced before I became President that basic human rights, equality of opportunity, the end of abuse by governments of their people, was a basic principle on which the United States should be an acknowledged champion.

• Mucha gente que trabaja con animales salvajes lo hace para satisfacer su propio ego. Y yo no estoy de acuerdo con eso. Lo que yo hago es acercarme al animal para que se vea bien. Mi objetivo en este mundo es hacer que esa serpiente marrón, ese cocodrilo, ese koala, esa araña de espalda roja, esa viuda negra, se vean bien. Ese es mi trabajo. No tengo ningún problema con mi ego ni con el de mi personal.

• I always considered myself bi-racial, because I didn't want to disconnect from either side, and I felt very strongly about that. Now, I understand that the world sees me as a black woman, a person of color, and I'm okay with that.

• We [Black people] have always used our creativity to battle and we're not the only ones. Black Americans are certainly leaders in that simply because we were denied education and dealt with enforced illiteracy. But people seem to always forget that literacy is not the only way of learning things or conveying knowledge.

• Black Americans should be given credit for finding probably the perfect weapon; the weapon of the song. And that song continues. Most holocausts don't, so they have this bitterness left over. The phenomenon of the world, as far as Black Americans are considered, is that we are not a bitter people.
