“Don’t push your weaknesses, play with your strengths.”

This is the man my mother lived for. My career means something now because I’ve worked with Robert Redford.

Sometimes you have to explore the darkness to get to the light and get back to who you are.

The minute I feel nervousness or anxiety or fear, I go, ‘No, no, that’s not a thought that I need to have right now. Everything’s great, everything’s good, you’re going to be fine’.

Things don’t always turn out exactly the way you want them to be and you feel disappointed. You are not always going to be the winner. That’s when you have to stop and figure out why things happened the way they did and what you can do to change them.

You can’t let the fear of what people might say or think stop you from doing what you want to do or else we would never do anything.

I don’t really check out other people’s butts.

Women should never go without earrings. Passing on them is an opportunity missed.

I think the best partner you can have is someone who makes you want to be the best form of yourself.

Love to me is someone telling me, ‘I want to be with you for the rest of my life, and if you needed me to I’d jump out of a plane for you.’

You can’t take life for granted.

I’m very comfortable with being productive. I like doing things, and I like creating things. As far as being powerful, I guess I’m comfortable with it. It’s not really how I think of myself.

Doubt is a killer. You just have to know who you are and what you stand for.

The truth is, everything that’s happened was supposed to happen. That doesn’t mean I don’t look back and think, God, I wish I hadn’t had to go through some of those things.

The media – they want to rush everything. They want to give their seedy opinions without knowing all the facts.

I love what I do. I have an insatiable appetite for creating things and wanting to get better at what I do and always growing and never stopping. I don’t know. It’s something I was born with. It’s definitely a drive. It’s a passion, and it’s driven for a love for what I do.

Until you value yourself enough and love yourself enough to know that, you can’t really have a healthy relationship.

Forgiveness is a way of opening up the doors again and moving forward, whether it’s a personal life or a national life.

At times it is folly to hasten at other times, to delay. The wise do everything in its proper time.

God himself helps those who dare.

If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bull.

Don’t bend; don’t water it down; don’t try to make it logical; don’t edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.

I just love seeing my audience live, and I also love to see my peers perform because it inspires me to be a better performer as well.

I love cuffing season. It’s a very inspiring season for those who want to be inspired.

The bold adventurer succeeds the best.
