You may not be thinking about politics, but politics is thinking about you.

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.

As long as anyone anywhere is being made to feel less human, our very definition of humanity is at stake, and we are all vulnerable.

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.

Jangan salahkan hujan saat ia turun dan membuatmu pilu sebab rindu. Hujan sudah menanggung rindu yang lebih berat dan banyaknya melebihi rintiknya sendiri.

How did they go from Braveheart to Brigadoon in less than five minutes?

O Death the Healer, scorn thou not, I pray, To come to me: of cureless ills thou art The one physician. Pain lays not its touch Upon a corpse.

Why have computers? Politicians are far more calculating.

I'm a gemini, and I get so bored so easily. I mean, I have moved six times in the last eight years.

Objective reality - otherwise known as the truth - matters.

I'm born to do music. I'm born to act. I'm born to dance and all of these things, and I will be respected.

These is old blues / and I sing em like any woman do. / These the old blues / and I sing em, sing em, sing em. Just like any woman do. / My life ain't done yet. / Naw. My song ain't through.

There aren't a lot of movie star males around my age that I can play opposite.

Just because someone seems to have more certainty, doesn't mean they're right.
