The most powerful idea that's entered the world in the last few thousand years - the idea of grace - is the reason I would like to be a Christian.

It's annoying, but justice and equality are mates. Aren't they? Justice always wants to hang out with equality. And equality is a real pain.

Stop asking God to bless what you're doing. Find out what God's doing. It's already blessed.

You see, Africa makes a fool of our idea of justice. It makes a farce of our idea of equality. It mocks our pieties. It doubts our concern. It questions our commitment. Because there is no way we can look at what's happening in Africa, and if we're honest, conclude that it would ever be allowed to happen anywhere else.

When people say, you know, 'Good teacher,' 'Prophet,' 'Really nice guy'... this is not how Jesus thought of Himself. So you're left with a challenge in that, which is either Jesus was who he said he was or a complete and utter nut case. You have to make a choice on that.

I wouldn't run for President. I wouldn't want to move to a smaller house.

Celebrity is ridiculous and silly and it's mad that people like me are listened to - you know, rap stars and movie stars.
