• If e'er I win a parting token,
  'Tis something that has lost its power--
  A chain that has been used and broken,
  A ruin'd glove, a faded flower;
  Something that makes my pleasure less,
  Something that means--forgetfulness.

  Nathaniel Parker Willis

• Let's start with the black glove. We felt it necessary being the fact that the Olympic Games, for the first time ever [in 1968], had been televised worldwide. The second thing is the fact that it was in Technicolor. Never had the games been shown in color before.We wanted it to be understood that we were representing America, but we were representing Black America in particular, so that's why we put the black glove on.

• I watched a lot of the James Bond movies, certainly, both the old ones and the reboot with Daniel Craig.

• Somebody who talks about how much they're eating and counts calories is unattractive to me. And when you limit yourself in the things you eat, it affects your mood. I've seen people who are a nightmare to be around because they're not eating. That's why I always have an apple in my purse or a Luna Bar in the glove box in case I get stuck in traffic - I don't even want to be alone in the car with myself if I'm hungry!

• In the clearing stands the boxer, and a fighter by his trade.
  And he carries a reminder of every glove that laid him down...
  or cut him till he cried out in his anger and his shame
  "I am leaving! I am leaving" but the fighter still remains.
