I hope that my work expresses my worldview and encourages people to exchange ideas.

Your own acts tell the world who you are and what kind of society you think it should be.

A small act is worth a million thoughts.

Creativity is part of human nature. It can only be untaught.

The art always wins. Anything can happen to me, but the art will stay.

The world is not changing if you don’t shoulder the burden of responsibility.

Maybe being powerful means to be fragile.

Everything is art. Everything is politics.

I think art certainly is the vehicle for us to develop any new ideas, to be creative, to extend our imagination, to change the current conditions.

I think optimism is whether you are still exhilarated by life, whether you are curious, whether you still believe there is possibility.

The purpose of art is the fight for freedom.

Self confidence. Let's fight the demons that makes us look smaller than we truly are. Your dream is worth it.

Never regret. If it's good, it's wonderful. If it's bad, it's experience.

If people begin to be more grateful, they will see the wonders of life.

For all the secret societies lunatics out there who think they know anything, why don't you chill..We’re ALL guests on Earth, not Management.

[On being told Mary, Queen of Scots, was taller than she:] Then she is too high, for I myself am neither too high nor too low.

Our mind is full of anger, jealousy and other negative feelings. Yet we do not realize that these are incompatible with inner peace and joy.

It's the same old story. Nothing in this world happens unless white folks says it happens. And therein lies the problem of being a professional black storyteller - writer, musician, filmmaker.

There's life alone in duty done, And rest alone in striving.

You'll never be a mature Christian until you understand that God remembers his promises and forgets your sins.

The highest treason in the USA is to say Americans are not loved, no matter where they are, no matter what they are doing there.
