One of the things I did when I was in New York, which has a wonderful deaf community, is I have worked on making Broadway more accessible to deaf people.

Instead of hating, I have chosen to forgive and spend all of my positive energy on changing the world.

It's okay to be a fat man. It's prestige and power and all of that. But fat women are seen as just lazy and stupid and having no self-control.

The universe is like a pension plan. It will match your investment.

I placed over a thousand deaf people in jobs throughout my career working for the deaf.

So instead of beating myself up for being fat, I think it's a miracle that I laugh every day and walk through my life with pride, because our culture is unrelenting when it comes to large people.

Waiting, waiting, waiting. All my life, I've been waiting for my life to begin, as if somehow my life was ahead of me, and that someday I would arrive at it.

People in this country haven't stopped hating fat people, but they've become more kind to me, since in our culture, even though we hate our fat people, we love our celebrities even more.

I can either cross the street, or I can keep waiting for another few years of green lights to go by.

Handsome, thin, sophisticated men often fall madly in love with larger women, we just never see it on TV.

One of my earliest memories is of my father carrying me in one arm with a picket sign in the other.

To see a candle's light one must take it into a dark place.

The only crime is pride.

Not a lawyer but carries within him the debris of a poet.

What a blessed truth to understand that, in the middle of all of our difficulties and calamities, we have a refuge.

Thinking is hard work; that's why so few do it.

Men expect too much, do too little, Put the contraption before the accomplishment, Lack skill of the interior mind To fashion dignity with shapes of air. Luxury, yes but not elegance!

A bad investment is going for quantity over quality. If you're trying to be careful with your wallet, especially with the economy right now, you have to choose staple pieces.

Guard you thoughts as you would your wallet. Habit is stronger than reason.

Education is great ... but it's really my creativity that's taught me that I can be much more than what my education told me I am.
