The things that have been most valuable to me I did not learn in school.

It feels like God visits everywhere else, but lives in Africa.

I want the world to be better because I was here. I want my life, I want my work, my family, I want it to mean something and if you are not making someone else's life better then you are wasting your time.

Here I stand before you - brown. Color of the mountains Colossal as the earth Wrapped so deliciously within my own joy and misery Feathers of my wings paralyzed by the distance of my mind Here I stand before you, the color of the night Frozen by the potential of me.

Being realistic is the quickest path to mediocrity

I want to represent the idea that you really can make what you want I believe I can create whatever I want to create.

I had to focus and create a character in Bagger Vance, not just do my 'Will Smith' thing and get paid.
