God is alive in each one of us. We just need to bend our knees, hold our hands together and open our hearts to Him.

People come and go in this lifetime. Some merely pass us by. Some stay with us for a little while. Some leave as quickly as they come. However, when real friends come, they stay and never leave.

I choose to be a victor, and not a victim of change.

Change is uncomfortable and awkward at first. It has a ripping effect on those who refuse to go along with it. It is not fixed by crying, or worrying, or wallowing in self-pity and mental anguish.

Change can only work in two ways – for the better, or for the worst. Yet, regardless of whatever manner in which change comes into our lives, what matters is how we view it and how we react to it.

Let us keep on dreaming and instead of saying “I wish” and waiting for it to happen, have the courage to say “I will” and make it come true.

Comics don't like to see other comics do well.

We've got to have a legacy of leadership. We've got to bring along with us a generation of black women who are going to confront twenty-first-century realities.

This is my chance to make it all happen, in the one city, where they say dreams come true.

Creativity makes a leap, then looks to see where it is.

Better than honor and glory, and History's iron pen, Was the thought of duty done and the love of his fellow-men.

For me, the iPhone is harder than reading Faust.
