I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice.

I was raised in Mississippi, so heat and humidity is my bread and butter. It keeps me going. I can't stand cold weather.

I always tell my kids if you lay down, people will step over you. But if you keep scrambling, if you keep going, someone will always, always give you a hand. Always. But you gotta keep dancing, you gotta keep your feet moving.

The odds are lousy that I actually said something attributed to me.

I've always been a fan of or desired to or responded to variety. I like variety in life, so variety in work is a must.

Don't be afraid of what you want. This is your time. The barriers are down.

Learning how to be still, to really be still and let life happen - that stillness becomes a radiance.
