Success is never an accident it's always on purpose.

If you think down, you will go down. If you think up, you will go up. You’ll always travel in the direction of your thinking.

Surround yourself with people whose definition of you is not based on your history, but your destiny.

Never make a permanent decision based on a temporary storm.. No matter how raging the billows are today, remind yourself: "This too shall pass!"

Real value isn’t in what you own, drive, wear or live. The greater value is found in love and life, health and strength, friends and family!

Your words will tell others what you think. Your actions will tell them what you believe.

God is a businessman. He is not going to do business with someone who shows no sign of potential return. He invests in people who demonstrate an ability to handle what He has given them.

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

When you truly sing, you sing yourself free. When you truly dance, you dance yourself free. When you walk in the mountains or swim in the sea, again, you set yourself free.

I'm not impersonating anybody. I'm perfectly satisfied with what I am.

Love makes the whole difference between an execution and a martyrdom.

Autobiography is a wound where the blood of history does not dry.

I don't make 'issue' films. I like making films about rebels or pioneers or people that are doing something.

We did a good job and I'm just glad I have it for a second time.
