Chirlane McCray People Quotations

Labels put people in boxes, and those boxes are shaped like coffins.

I'd like to be out in the city every day, listening to what people are saying and asking about what they need. I'd like to inspire others by doing as much as I can to help people who are trying to make a better life for themselves and others.

Some people are just quiet - they don't need to be talking all the time and aren't extroverted, but they're not necessarily afraid to talk. I'm not really a shy person.

I like to go to the subway and hear what people are thinking and feeling and what their concerns are. You learn so much that way. You really do.
