There's something in the moment when you can make them laugh or cry and show and incredibly compassionate side of life. I find that a really exemplary way to live.

I did a film a long time ago with a shaved head and I had the ugliest looking head in the world.

Look at television and how comparatively few minorities are out there.

Back in the 60s, San Francisco artists lived in communes.

It's the most extraordinary and saddest thing, the amount of talent out there not being seen.

I've been just like any other working actor, out there looking for stuff.

I'm going bald. I'm having a major problem with it.

I want to direct. It's something that I know I'll be really good at.

I still feel like there are a lot of things in me that people haven't seen. My soul hasn't been bared yet.

I want to be remembered as a person who felt there was no limitation to what the human body and mind can do and be the inspiration to lead people to do things they never hoped to do.

You may be transferred, enlisted, commissioned, reassigned, or hospitalized - but brand this on your heart - you can never go where God is not.

Take my heart and mold it; take my mind, transform it; take my will, conform it - to Yours, to Yours, to Yours.

And as Dad said to me, 'You can't always stop people from being mean. But you can stop them from making you mean.

Perseverance is the most overrated of traits, if it is unaccompanied by talent; beating your head against a wall is more likely to produce a concussion in the head than a hole in the wall.
