I don't gravitate toward any one designer because I think of fashion as the costume of the everyday woman.

I don't have to be perfect. All I have to do is show up and enjoy the messy, imperfect and beautiful journey of my life.

I have a deep, deep love for sneakers.

Learn to embrace your own unique beauty, celebrate your unique gifts with confidence. Your imperfections are actually a gift.

Your life is your story, and the adventure ahead of you is the journey to fulfill your own purpose and potential.

You and you alone are the only person that can live the life that writes the story that you were meant to tell. And the world needs your story because the world needs your voice.

I'm not interested in living in a world where my race is not a part of who I am. I am interested in living in a world where our races, no matter what they are, don't define our trajectory in life.

[NATO countries] have no respect for our country. They will do it. They'll be happy to do it.

I don't feel opportunistic ever, in anything.

Jails and prisons are the complement of schools; so many less as you have of the latter, so many more must you have of the former.

If the heart is hardened, the intellect is darkened.

I think it's going to be great if people can buy a ticket to fly up and see black sky and the stars. I'd like to do it myself-but probably after it has flown a serious number of times first!
