I'm a big old egotistical baby and that's okay. I can accept it.

When I forget how talented God is, I look to the sea.

Thank you, God, because I am lucky. Also let's face it, it turns out I'm black. And I'm having a career quite different from lots of people, so I feel doubly lucky.

I say if you're worried, vote smart. Vote smart.

If you're not sure how you feel about same-sex marriage, go and meet some of the families and see what they're looking for. Once you take it out of the caricature of what gay people are and what gay marriage is, and put it in the reality of family and what these folks are fighting for, it's really amazing.

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.'

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