God wants you to have a good life, a life filled with love, joy, peace, and fulfillment. That doesn’t mean it will always be easy, but it does mean that it will always be good.

Don't waste your energy trying to convince people to understand you. Your time is too valuable to try to prove yourself to people.

I don't have to figure out how God is going to solve my problem. I don't have to understand how He's going to bring it to pass. That's His responsibility. My job is to simply believe that He will.

Difficult times don't come your way just so you can survive them; God uses these times in your life to form and refine you.

Never put a question mark where God has put a period. When something is over and done, let it go and move on to the next chapter of your life.

Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you're going to live your life.

The more you talk about negative things in your life, the more you call them in. Speak victory not defeat.

Learn to trust His timing. Don't get in a hurry; don't grow impatient; don't try to force doors open. Don't try to make things happen in your own strength. Let God do it His way.

There are people in your path just so you can be a blessing to them. Anytime you do good for others, you are sowing a seed for God to be good to you.

You have to accept the fact that some people are never going to be for you. Treat them with respect, but you don’t need their approval to fulfill your destiny.

Wake up every morning with a thankful attitude. Expect something good to happen in your life today.

I don't care about fashion, I care about women.

Honoring the moment is honoring every human being you meet. The only place where you can meet them is in the moment.

Real luxury is time and opportunity to read for pleasure

In Europe, the houses and the apartments are getting smaller. So there is no need to increase the screen because the apartment is becoming smaller.

I am not the type of person who believes everything she reads, but I like to look at photos and see what people are wearing.

I had always thought that the idea of love at first sight was one of those things invented by lady novelists from the South with three names.

I love the idea of biracial. I actually don't use the word biracial. I tend to use mixed. Biracial to me accentuates the word race, and, you know, I don't really care for it.

Stumble is worse than falling, because stumble is not as instructive as the falling!

Pleasure and pain are only aspects of the mind. Our essential nature is happiness

I'm an actor, and when I close the door at home I'm kind of off-duty.
