I had to confront my fears and master my every demonic thought about inferiority, insecurity, or the fear of being black, young, and gifted in this Western culture.

Every time truth comes we hate it, because it's coming against our ego. Are you going to let the ego come between you and this person you love?

Real religion is no religion at all.

In my life the most influential people are people who are sort of brought to me, as opposed to people I seek out.

There are a lot of young black girls who I meet in my travels who don't have a lot of self-esteem. So if I communicate to them that they're beautiful, no white person should find fault in that. It doesn't mean that young white girls aren't beautiful, because they are just as beautiful.

I don't listen to a lot of music at all. I think that's very bizarre too, because it was such a comfort zone for me. But I don't know if I had my fill, but I don't listen to a lot of music, because I'm creating it.

Place your attention 6 inches above your crown. God is breathing in and out there.
