If you feel like you're not where you want to be in your life, rather than step on someone else's, raise your stature.

Hateful people put fear in other people.

Picking on another person in their mind justifies and makes their stature higher. People do it interracially. It's amazing how every race, every culture seems to have a culture they pick on.

I have 8-year-old twins, and I want them to grow up in a world where they can be anyone they want without any shame, without holding back, without being judged for it.

Even though [bullying] doesn't actually raise your stature, it might make you feel that way.

I always felt safe and protected. My dad is 6'6" and 280 pounds, so I basically felt protected, and I aspire to have my kids feel the same way.

You can have your beliefs and have your faith, but don't try to impose it one me, and vice versa.

You can't discriminate against someone because of their race, color, or religion, but you can discriminate against someone because of their sexual preference, I find it to be abhorrent.

When I was younger, I had an older brother a year and a half older than me, so we always had each other, and I felt very fortunate in that regard.

And whose fault was it that the boy swallowed down lies, when no one would feed him the truth?

But there's a beginning in an end, you know? It's true that you can't reclaim what you had, but you can lock it up behind you. Start fresh.

The fall is my favorite time of year. I love the colors. The sun is out, you get warmth on your skin but there's the coolness of the breeze. It's really comfortable.

Everything changes as you get older - your mind, your body, the way you view the world.

Never lose heart in the power of the gospel. Do not believe that there exists any man, much less any race of men, for whom the gospel is not fitted.

To be alive is to totally and openly participate in the simplicity and elegance of here and now.

We are near, very near, to an end to the eurozone crisis... The worst - in the sense of the fear of the eurozone breaking up - is over. But the best isn't there yet.

I guess I knew my dad was into photography, so a part of me was interested in picking it up to understand him a little better.

Are we going to be a services power? The double-cheeseburger-hold-the-mayo kings of the world?

Pure love makes you feel as light as a flower. You won't feel any heaviness or burden. Ego creates the burden.
