People call me a socialist sometimes. But, no, you gotta meet real socialists. You'll have a sense of what a socialist is.

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.

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.

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.

Sexism, like racism, goes with us into the next century. I see class warfare as overshadowing both.

I think so much of art is unconscious anyway, the artist doesn't know the real reason they're doing it. They're just kind of going along with it intuitively.

I grasped two things: I wasn't as happy as I could be, and my life wasnt going to change unless I made it change.

In general, modern art... has been inspired by a natural desire to chart the uncharted.

Don't give in to excuses that can keep you from really living the best life God has for you.

Love goes away when your mind goes away and then you're someone else.
