Most people don't have so much talent that they can become a success all their own. We all need people to help us and lift us up.

Look at people for an example, but then make sure to do things your way. Surround yourself with positive people.

You have to stand for what you believe in and sometimes you have to stand alone.

Life is so much bigger, grander, higher, and wider than we allow ourselves to think.

I decided early on that I was going to put on my crown and rule my world by acting right and treating myself like a queen.

I don’t want to be a supermodel; I want to be a role model.

My mom will make me walk the dogs or take out the trash when I go home.

Every woman is a queen, and we all have different things to offer.

No one ever got ahead by going through the motions. You have to constantly be improving yourself. Make your life the masterpiece you want it to be.

I really don't know how to be anyone else, and whenever I try to be anyone else, I fail miserably. Or I disappoint myself. It doesn't build my self-esteem, and it doesn't help me grow me at all.

When I was around 18, I looked in the mirror and said, 'You're either going to love yourself or hate yourself.' And I decided to love myself. That changed a lot of things.

He seems to be attracting religions the way a dog attracts fleas.

The most pleasant and alluring curve on a woman is the smile

I can't think of a better way to revenge someone who tried to break you, Than to live and love life more without them.

I say to my colleagues never confine your best work, your hopes, your dreams, the aspiration of the American people to what will be signed by George W. Bush because that is too limiting a factor.

Everyone lives the way she knows best. What I mean by 'their happiness' is living a life untouched as much as possible by the knowledge that we are really, all of us, alone. That's not a bad thing.

I'm a lucky guy. I get to sit around every day and indulge in make believe and get paid for it.

He that is angry at a feast is rude.

For me, the bold jazz of John Coltrane and Miles Davis reflected the bold attitude in African-Americans finding their political identity and voice.

It definitely gets challenging at times. I travel a lot more now, and its never easy having to leave the kids, even if its for a few days.

I am satisfied with the dissatisfaction that never rests until it is satisfied and satisfied again.
