Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more.

I made the decision I will own my own show. So never again will I ever be told what I can and can not do.

Many things in life inspire philanthropy, such as your faith in humanity and your belief in the human spirit to overcome.

I want every day to be a fresh start on expanding what is possible.

I became so frustrated with visiting inner-city schools (in America) that I just stopped going. The sense that you need to learn just isn't there. If you ask the kids what they want or need, they will say an iPod or some sneakers. In South Africa, they don't ask for money or toys. They ask for uniforms so they can go to school.

Make yourself a priority. Fill yourself up so that you can give more to others.

It took a lot of courage to take the high road, but I would rather be significant with six million people watching a show with meaning, than everyone watching a show with no meaning.
