• En contra de lo que afirman los partidarios de la Ley de Derechos Civiles de 1964 y los patrocinadores de la H.Res. 676, la Ley de Derechos Civiles de 1964 no mejoró las relaciones raciales ni aumentó la libertad. Por el contrario, la integración forzosa dictada por la Ley de Derechos Civiles de 1964 aumentó las tensiones raciales al tiempo que disminuía la libertad individual.

• Sometimes, from outside, and from America especially, where the racial tension is so intense, you tend to understand Brazil as a kind of ideal situation, but it's not. There are a lot of problems.

• Jesse Owen was bigger than a black hero, he was an American hero. For me, I looked at it from that perspective. Through my research, I obviously learned a lot, much of which made me sad, upset, disappointed and even angry, regarding what Jesse had to go through. Not only was he a black man in America during an age of high racial tension and segregation, but he was also living in the middle of the Great Depression - it was very difficult times for him and his family.

• En la provincia de Quebec, de donde procedo, hablamos francés y la única ciudad cosmopolita es Montreal. Cada vez que abordamos el tema de la inmigración y la tensión racial, es un tema que concierne a Montreal. Además, en Quebec tenemos este problema añadido de que queremos que la gente hable francés, porque el francés siempre está a punto de desaparecer en cierta medida. Yo trabajo, juego y hago todo en francés.
