I don't believe in failure. It is not failure if you enjoyed the process.

The big secret in life is that there is no big secret. .... There are no back doors, no free rides. There's just you, this moment and a choice.

I don't think you ever stop giving. I really don't. I think it's an on-going process. And it's not just about being able to write a check. It's being able to touch somebody's life.

Find the courage to seek out your big dream, regardless of what anyone else says or thinks.

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.

You cannot wait for someone to save you, to help you, to complete you. No one can complete you. You complete yourself.

It's all about dreams. If I had to attribute my success in life to any one thing it is this. I believed in my dreams, even when no one else did.
