I'm a black lady from the Lower East Side of New York. Not a lot intimidates me.

Believe that there are no limitations, no barriers to your success --- you will be empowered and you will achieve.

Dreams do come true, but not without the help of others, a good education, a strong work ethic, and the courage to lean in.

The best way to change it is to do it. Right? And then after a while you become it, and it's easy.

The world is changing. We all know this. And as that world changes, if you don't transform your company, you're stuck.

I say to my team all the time that this is how I grew up: Always thinking that, at any minute, I could be unemployed. You have to scramble. You have to work hard and get ahead of things.

I realized I was more convincing to myself and to the people who were listening when I actually said what I thought, versus what I thought people wanted to hear me say.

Where you are is not who you are

My perspective comes in part from being a New York black lady, in part from being an engineer. I know I'm smart and have opinions worth being heard.

I'm an advocate for change and eager to break a little glass when needed.

I want to stop transforming and just start being.

Today, possible presidential candidate Donald Trump released his birth certificate. It lists his eyes as blue and his hair as ridiculous.

I've always felt fine about Putin. I think he is a strong leader, he's a powerful leader, he's represented his country the way - the country is being represented.

It's an incredible rise to stardom. At 17 you're more likely to get a call from Michael Jackson than England manager Sven Goran Eriksson.

Declare not war against your emotions, or prepare for the inevitable defeat!

The idea of beauty does not descend into matter unless this is prepared as carefully as possible. This preparation consists of three things: arrangement, measure, and aspect or form.

I can't imagine ever not making music, making albums, writing songs, doing shows. That's all I really know, and that's all I really do.

When something explosive is kept hidden away, a tension builds within that must ultimately be released.

Money is never to be squandered or spent ostentatiously. Some of the greatest people in history have lived lives of the greatest simplicity. Remember it's the you inside that counts.

I don't have a bullet in my head, do I? So I'm fine.

Under loves heavy burden do I sink. --Romeo
