Weight issues, race issues will always be there and if you allow them to get to you and you allow them to affect you then yes they affect you. But my thing is I have so many other things to worry about I can't worry about other people's perception of me.

I like a person who knows how to say something dark at a very dark moment. The darker the moment and the darker the comic, the better. Something that is so wrong on all levels.

You never write a speech in advance because if you don't get to use it, you'll be heartbroken.

One thing I've learned is be comfortable in your skin, and more importantly, be comfortable in your shoes.

I just think that you have to believe in yourself and you have to work very hard. You can't ever think that you're the best thing since sliced bread because I promise you, there are going to be Viola Davises and Jessica Chastains and Emma Stones who are the best thing since sliced bread. So take it seriously, but don't take it too seriously.

There are moments where you stop living, if you stop changing, and if you stop seeking growth of some sort.

For me, when you have to prepare to play God, and then walking away from that, you realize just how tough God's job is. I don't want that job.
