I always prided myself on the fact that I could live out of milk crates forever. It was kind of my way of detaching from materialism.

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.

Don’t trust your fears. They’re unfounded.

When God created us, He breathed in us the Spirit of Life and put all that we need to make us great on this earth in us

A leader isn't born after 9 months' conception. When talents are discovered, skills are mastered & values are developed, a leader is born.

There will never be complete satisfaction in the life, satisfaction is an illusion, there is only heroism.

Photos sat on the piano and shelves bulged with books, testament to a life well lived.

An army of sheep led by a lion is better than an army of lions led by a sheep.

There's nothing in the middle of the road but yellow stripes and dead armadillos.

I take it to be true that pure thought can grasp the real, as the ancients had dreamed.

Scoring goals is a great feeling, but the most important thing to me is that the team is successful - it doesn't matter who scores the goals as long as we're winning.

This is what I am learning, at 82 years old: the main thing is to be in love with the search for truth.
