There ain't no problem that some other dude didn't have 1,000 years ago.

I grew up in the church, Resurrection Baptist Church in Philadelphia, and my grandmother was that grandmother at the church, the one always at the church, always putting on the events. It was deeply instilled in me that every action, everything I create, everything I say and do in the world is inexorably bound to the lives of everybody I come in contact with - and it's my responsibility to put things into the world that have a positive influence on humanity.

Be magic choose and believe that you can do anything you set your mind to believe. We are who we choose to be.

In my mind, I've always been an A-list Hollywood superstar. Y'all just didn't know yet.

Tommy Lee Jones is hilarious. I would say, if you look at the body of his work, the character he is most like is the one in 'The Fugitive.' That's how he talks and jokes. That is the type of energy he has.

I believe that my connection, to my higher power, is separate from everybody’s. I don’t believe that the Muslims have all the answers. I don’t believe the Christians have all the answer, or the Jews have all the answers...

I don't want to be an icon. I want to be an idea. I want to represent possibilities.
