Remember to look at your glass half full and not half empty. A lot of my strength comes from God. God has given me a gift - the gift of life - and it's amazing that I live each day.

People will come up to me everywhere and say, 'Ah, I saw you on 'Larry King,'' and, 'Ah, I saw you on 'Oprah.'' And it's really nice, and a lot of people say, 'Is it a pain?' And I say 'No.' And it's not annoying.

We all have life storms, and when we get the rough times and we recover from them, we should celebrate that we got through it. No matter how bad it may seem, there's always something beautiful that you can find.

...if you live feeling like Your glass is half empty, well, It may as well be empty all the way.

I want to be remembered as a poet, a peacemaker, and a philosopher who played.

Expressing my feelings and then the opportunity to share it with others is just such a gift.

While we are living in the present, we must celebrate life every day, knowing that we are becoming history with every work, every action, every deed.
