I think every person has the ability to affect change...through our every thought our every word, the way that we interact with other people. We are constantly affecting the world.

Everybody has a responsibility for what they put out into the world. Rather than trying to figure out what other people should be doing, work on your own interactions in the world and whatever influence they have. All of it has an effect.

If I feel like I've done the best that I can or conducted myself in the most constructive way that I can in a situation, then I feel peace.

When I hear Obama speak he just seems really sincere and he just seems like somebody who actually has his heart and his motivation in the right place. Forget about color or race or gender or whatever, he's got his heart in the right place.
