I am where I am because I believe in all possibilities.

If every American donated five hours a week, it would equal the labor of twenty million full-time volunteers.

If you get a little gassy, you've got to let it go. So people used to say to me, 'You're like a whoopee cushion.'

What I am is a humanist before anything - before I'm a Jew, before I'm black, before I'm a woman. And my beliefs are for the human race - they don't exclude anyone.

We're here for a reason. I believe a bit of the reason is to throw little torches out to lead people through the dark.

I had such a good time doing that movie [Sister Act 2]. My daughter's in that movie. It was a fun film to do. And it shocked a lot of people, because they loved it, and they take it with them.

The people who can be helping to make movies that have blacks and Latinos and women and all that - that movie doesn't come to you. Because the idea is that there's no place for black movies.
