I've had to learn how to say 'no' to offers.

I can't even open my eyes underwater.

I always say I am a realist, and my mom says, "No, you just have anxiety."

If you don't fully take every moment and love every moment and every person that you're with, your life will be over before you realise.

The Million Man March would never have been successful if it were not for the women who stood with us and helped to organize to make the March what it eventually became.

There is a fatality about good resolutions – that they are always made too late
