The most difficult thing in the world, it seems to me, is to realize that I am a child of God; to keep that in my mind all the time.

Creativity or talent, like electricity, is something I don't understand but something I'm able to harness and use.

I have respect for the past, but I'm a person of the moment.

What is a fear of living? It's being preeminently afraid of dying. It is not doing what you came here to do, out of timidity and spinelessness. The antidote is to take full responsibility for yourself - for the time you take up and the space you occupy. If you don't know what you're here to do, then just do some good.

I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.

Modesty is a learned affectation. And as soon as life slams the modest person against the wall, that modesty drops.

I wouldn't trade anything for my story now.
