That's what acting is - it's about... having the courage to allow your audience into the private moments of your characters' lives.

I don't have to be perfect. All I have to do is show up and enjoy the messy, imperfect and beautiful journey of my life.

I have a deep, deep love for sneakers.

Learn to embrace your own unique beauty, celebrate your unique gifts with confidence. Your imperfections are actually a gift.

Your life is your story, and the adventure ahead of you is the journey to fulfill your own purpose and potential.

I don't think I'm even close to fulfilling my potential. And I think also that, unlike a pianist or a flutist, an actor has an instrument that is constantly changing.

You and you alone are the only person that can live the life that writes the story that you were meant to tell. And the world needs your story because the world needs your voice.

I'm not interested in living in a world where my race is not a part of who I am. I am interested in living in a world where our races, no matter what they are, don't define our trajectory in life.

You can never control how people respond to your work. You can only control your own work ethic.

To meet somebody who's able to harness the level of courage it takes to walk away and to choose your own life and your own health, the well-being of your family, is really inspiring.

Racism isn’t born, folks. It’s taught. I have a 2-year-old son. Know what he hates? Naps. End of list.

To give somebody your time is the biggest gift you can give.

But the delights of solitude don't only consist of dreaming. Next in enjoyment, I think, comes planning.

One day you too may experience what I have experienced. So right away go and practise.

Capitalism is a pretty brutal place.

I will go anywhere and do anything in order to communicate the love of Jesus to those who do not know Him or have forgotten Him.

But unfortunately, when you have a kid, you sometimes eat everything they leave behind. So far today I've had some of her leftover pancakes with peanut butter.

There is massive propaganda for everyone to consume. Consumption is good for profits and consumption is good for the political establishment.

But I just really think there is a natural extension into other types of media because it's an excellent system for reliably locating and retrieving content.

My theory is that the world is a difficult place to live in and distraction is the name of the game.
