People are simply not willing to look at their problems honestly and admit that they have problems.

I began to realize that poverty was really more of a choice than anything else and that I could change that. And it just really depended on how hard I wanted to work.

Why should I give someone else such power over my life?

We are not like dogs who are kind of "What am I going to eat today? Oh, there is a rabbit; I am going to go chase it."

You know if there is a rabid dog running around your neighborhood, you're probably not going to assume something good about that dog, and you're probably gonna put your children out of the way. Doesn't mean that you hate all dogs by any stretch of the imagination.

I have no problem with being vetted. What I do have a problem with is being lied about and then putting that as truth.

Knowledge makes people special. Knowledge enriches life itself.
