In God, I move and breathe and have my being.

I hear people say all the time, "I'm not really religious, but I consider myself spiritual." I definitely have always been spiritual, being raised by my grandmother on that little acre in Mississippi, indoctrinated, born into the church and the ways of the church.

I don't think there's anything better you can do in this world than bring light wherever you go.

When I was a kid and the other kids were home watching "Leave it to Beaver," my father and step-mother were marching me off to the library.

For me at this time in my life I recognize that everything is about moving closer to that which is God. And without a full, spiritual center - and I am not talking about religion, I am talking about without understanding the fullness from which you've come you can't really fulfill your supreme moment of destiny.

How do I define success? Let me tell you, money's pretty nice. But having a lot of money does not automatically make you a successful person. What you want is money and meaning. You want your work to be meaningful, because meaning is what brings the real richness to your life.

All these years I've been feeling like I was growing into myself. Finally, I feel grown.
