People need role models. They need to see examples of people in peoples' lives.

It doesn't matter how strong your opinions are. If you don't use your power for positive change, you are, indeed, part of the problem.

Struggle is a never ending process. Freedom is never really won, you earn it and win it in every generation.

Freedom and justice cannot be parceled out in pieces to suit political convenience. I don't believe you can stand for freedom for one group of people and deny it to others.

Women, if the soul of the nation is to be saved, I believe that you must become its soul.

The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members.

I am convinced that the women of the world, united without any regard for national or racial dimensions, can become a most powerful force for international peace and brotherhood.

When the heart is right, the mind and the body will follow.

When you are willing to make sacrifices for a great cause, you will never be alone.

It is of practical value to learn to like yourself. Since you must spend so much time with yourself you might as well get some satisfaction out of the relationship.

I'm inspired by the work of those (and sometimes even the people themselves) who strive to inspire.

Aim for service and success will follow!

I think a lot of people really have religious overtones of having come from somewhere. I mean, even the whole concept of religion is kind of alien.

Really fantastic film, 'Munich'. So yeah, if I would say, what's the most underappreciated film, I think 'Munich' would be the one.

Every time I make a film, I try to do it slightly different. If you're not 100% engaged and interested, then it's not gonna translate into a successful film.

I say to myself, sometimes the tide is just out. But it always comes back in again.

In my next life I want to be a pessimist. Then other people could spend all their time cheering me up.

I've taken salsa classes. I love dancing and I love to karaoke. So I bought a microphone with some tapes and my son and I karaoke. I know the entire 'Dora the Explorer' soundtrack.
