Over the last 15 months, we've traveled to every corner of the United States. I've now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.

You can’t let your failures define you. You have to let your failures teach you.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

Keep exploring. Keep dreaming. Keep asking why. Don’t settle for what you already know. Never stop believing in the power of your ideas, your imagination, your hard work to change the world.

When ignorant folks want to advertise their ignorance, you don't really have to do anything, you just let them talk.

Just because we have the best hammer does not mean that every problem is a nail.

Change is never easy, but always possible.

Don’t ever let anybody tell you that your efforts don’t matter or that your voice doesn’t count. Don’t ever believe that you can’t make a difference. You have.

Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up.

Learning to stand in somebody else's shoes, to see through their eyes, that's how peace begins. And it's up to you to make that happen. Empathy is a quality of character that can change the world.

If somebody is different from you, that's not something you criticize, that's something that you appreciate.

You never really get the smell of burning flesh out of your nose entirely, no matter how long you live.

Sometimes you just can't get rid of a bomb!

I've always been a student of different ways of looking at the world, different religions. That's been part of my survival mechanism, and also part of my curiosity as a person.

I'm part of nobody's world except Brezhnev's.

I don't subscribe to the theory that all politicians are crap. I think the 'cool people' often take that position.

I put my ideas into practice. That may be the reason people hate me.

A red rose is not selfish because it wants to be a red rose. It would be horribly selfish if it wanted all the other flowers in the garden to be both red and roses.

I have never taken myself that seriously as an actor.

If you ruled out partial successes, there would be no progress at all.

The earth belongs to the living, not to the dead.
