• Tengo memoria. No sé por qué ni cómo. Una vez un tipo me dijo que había jugado contra mí en novice [liga, para niños menores de nueve años], en los Detroit Lasers. Y le dije: "Ah, sí, te ganamos en el torneo, 8-1 y creo que marqué siete goles, y el portero era zurdo". Y él: "¡Dios mío! Yo era el portero!" .

• Creo que la mayoría de la gente no se imagina cómo pueden cambiar las cosas. En Detroit hay huertos comunitarios que no son más que un indicio de que el campo está volviendo a la ciudad. Y eso es algo que realmente es necesario para detener el peligro inminente real de exterminio de nuestro planeta.

• Just take the lack of presence of F1 in the United States. In theory - and logically - you would have an East Coast Grand Prix, a West Coast Grand Prix, and I think you should have a street race in Detroit - it is still the motor capital of the US. You stay in the US for four weeks and could have two to three races, certainly two.

• Detroit right now is virtually abandoned at its core to the degree that a lot of what had been slums thirty years ago are now wildflower meadows. The rebuilding of Detroit will occur a much smaller scale. It remains to be seen what will become of Detroit's vast suburbs.

• The civil rights movement didn't deal with the issue of political disenfranchisement in the Northern cities. It didn't deal with the issues that were happening in places like Detroit, where there was a deep process of deindustrialization going on. So you have this response of angry young people, with a war going on in Vietnam, a poverty program that was insufficient, and police brutality. All these things gave rise to the black power movement. The black power movement was not a separation from the civil rights movement, but a continuation of this whole process of democratization.

• Yo era una niña judía de clase trabajadora. En mi niñez, el antisemitismo era un hecho cotidiano en Detroit. No procedía de una familia que tuviera muchas opciones en la vida ni muchas posibilidades de elección. Era una niña en una familia en la que las mujeres eran, como en la sociedad en general, ciudadanas de segunda clase. No veía por qué debía aceptar estas limitaciones forzadas sin luchar. Ser libre para tomar mis propias decisiones se convirtió en algo muy importante para mí desde muy joven.
