I long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself.

I'm really saddened by the attempts to separate and polarize. This is a time when we have hungry people, people out of work, and people out of spirit. This is a time where we need to uplift, not to separate.

I believe that every person is born with talent.

If you're going to live, leave a legacy. Make a mark on the world that can't be erased.

We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry are equal in value no matter what their color.

I want to write so well that a person is 30 or 40 pages in a book of mine ... before she realizes she's reading.

When you learn, teach, when you get, give.
