If you're blessed enough to grow older, which is how I look at aging, there's so much wisdom to be gained from people who are celebrating the process with vibrancy and vigor and grace.

I could eat a feeling faster than anybody, put a little hot sauce on it and wouldn't recognize it until it showed up on my behind three days later.

I felt that it was deeply moving and profound, and of course everybody was like, "Oh, the president [Barack Obama] can sing!" Maybe a little off key! I actually think that the sermon reinforced the very nature of the grace that the victims' families had shown to the world.

There are still generations of people, older people, who were born and bred and marinated in it, in that prejudice and racism, and they just have to die.

I believe the choice to be excellent begins with aligning your thoughts and words with the intention to require more from yourself.

For me to live in a world that is not inclusive of other people who are not Christian would be the opposite of Christianity.

In order to be truly happy, you must live along with, and you must stand for something larger than yourself.
