Everything you do is political, even if it's abstract. You're making a political statement even if it's unwittingly.

I find it very difficult to be funny, it's much easier to do tragedy than it is to do comedy.

Until blacks and whites see each other as brother and sister, we will not have parity. It's very clear.

I don’t want to say everything happens for a reason, but every day is lined up right next to the other one for a reason. The best you can do is do each day well with kindness and as a good person.

Movement is a fantastic privilege but it ultimately only has meaning if you have a home to go back to.

There is nothing that means more to a woman than a love she can count on.

We don't work for each other, We work with each other.
