Comfort is the enemy of achievement.

I'm sure you know a lot of people who were born into privilege and amounted to absolutely nothing. We all have greatness within us. So it is really important for everyone to figure out what God put us on Earth to do, and steer clear of the seven pervasive lies that often blindside people.

We have to learn to face our fears and push ourselves. If you're living on earth and you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room. When you push past the fear and realize that what you feared was not a big deal, you gain more confidence.

It is not possible to erase racism just because African-Americans have reached a level of financial success and crossover appeal.

American economy is tricky. If you stay in the game you're in a good position for the upswing. If you're not in the game you can't win.

I'm a strong supporter of comfort breeds complacency. Growing up poor I wasn't comfortable, my mom had to work so hard and I woke up one day and decided I was not going to come home until I could help her pay the bills.

Money has not changed me. When I look at money, each dollar represents an option of something I could not do yesterday.
