The big thing I tell my kids is you have to control how you label things. It's very important to me they understand the power they have to create the lives that they want.

I know who I am, I know what I believe, that's all I need to know. From there, you do what you need to do.

You have to make every group you come in contact with better.

I'm profoundly changed. There's a bittersweet emotion that I feel from playing this role. . . . I want the world to be different because I was here. However lofty or crazy or delusional that may sound, I want people's lives to be better because I was here.

The first step is you have to say that you can.

Well, all I know is what I read in the papers.

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