I feel that sometimes, holding yourself as black, saying that is your sole identity, can sometimes stand in your way of being a member of the humanity of man, being a member of the family of the divine. -- Giancarlo Esposito

I talked to members of my family, and did some personal research that didn't really have anything to do with the time and place I was writing about, but that gave me a feeling of the experience of being black in a time and place where it was very difficult to be black. -- Octavia Butler
If you have any setback in your life, like not being in the England squad was for me - any setback, like losing a family member - everyone handles it in different ways.
