You need to know that you can't honor God when you're chained to the voice and opinions of man.

It doesn't matter if a million people tell you what you can't do, or if ten million tell you no. If you get one yes from God that's all you need.

God gives everyone a lane and no one can beat you in your lane. Just stay focused on Him and what you are supposed to do. And everything will be alright.

Rather than focus on your critics, focus on the people who are impacted by your work.

Don't wait for someone to green light your project, build your own intersection.

Once you're truly happy with yourself alone, that's when you are safe to find the right person to spend the rest of your life with.

Don't stop. Narrow your focus to one idea, and make it work. That will give birth to all of the others. All you can do is plant the seed and water it.

The key to life when it gets tough is to keep moving. Just keep moving.

You know, people at Wal-Mart are standing there with their uniforms on. I feel like I'm putting on a uniform to do a movie. I don't feel like it's dressing in drag.

A mother’s love is stronger than distance, more powerful than time and can transcend the grave.

Fear is a sprit that really can stop you from living.

I don't think anybody in the world is perfect. I don't think anybody is absolutely good or bad or stupid. Each one of us combines all those qualities in our daily lives, I think.

You will never have enough time to do everything you need to do, so what you need is a crystal clear understanding of the important things you have to do.

Imagine, a September 11 with weapons of mass destruction. It's not 3,000. It's tens of thousands of innocent men, women and children.

The whole point of taking pictures is so that you don't have to explain things with words.

I'm feeling better than expected.

In terms of scope, and in terms of sheer number of characters, we went beyond our limits long ago.

It is natural to man to indulge in the illusion of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, till she transforms us into beasts.

Idle hands make fretful minds.

The greatest flood has the soonest ebb; the sorest tempest the most sudden calm; the hottest love the coldest end; and from the deepest desire oftentimes ensues the deadliest hate.

Work hard or don't work at all.
