You need to dream a bigger dream for yourself. That is the lesson. Hold the highest vision possible for your life and it can come true.

The very first time I had Whitney Houston on my show, however many years ago, I thought, "You are 'the voice.'" You are the voice, that was my name for you.

I don't have a lot of "I can't" inside me.

You can take from every experience what it has to offer you. And you cannot be defeated if you just keep taking one breath followed by another.

Failure is just a way for our lives to show us we're moving in the wrong direction, that we should try something different

Become the change you want to see - those are words I live by.

I'm one of those people who lives for the moment. If you concern yourself with what's going to happen a year from now, or five years from now, you defuse the moment. Whatever comes, comes. For this time I enjoy the ascent. I don't worry about anything except getting thinner thighs.
