“Even if you don’t have anything, even if you’ve got a quarter in your pocket, to share with someone else who has nothing really helps.”

I’ve never wanted to be put into a box, not musically.

I’m not living large; I just want to live comfortably. I wanna have financial stability that is unshakable.

I promised my mom that if, after a year of putting 150 percent into my career it didn’t work out, I would go back to school. I never did go back.

Life is so much bigger, grander, higher, and wider than we allow ourselves to think.

I didn’t know I had it in me. There’s more to all of us than we realize. Life is so much bigger, grander, higher, and wider than we allow ourselves to think. We’re capable of so much more than we allow ourselves to believe.

I’m proud of everything I do, but I think I’m the most happy about becoming a rapper. It was my entrance into everything. That helped me get into acting.

You have to stand for what you believe in and sometimes you have to stand alone.

If I ran into a 19-year-old version of myself, I’d just tell her to live, full out. I might also tell her to go ahead and have a few babies and not worry about the timing of it.

I never really took any acting classes. I’m just a natural ham, I guess.

Always follow your own path.

I never wanted to give up my power. I wanted to be able to make my own decisions, so that’s why I became involved in management, bottom line.

Sometimes I pray when I really feel like I need God to help me with something, and sometimes we just have conversations. We just kick it.

To wanna be me is to go through not just the good but the bad. You wanna share my story identically? Man, you gonna take some lumps.

We ignore our feelings a lot, I realize. Many of us have to… until they really bite us in the butt.

When I want to push myself and do intense workouts, I do that, but I’m not going to do it because anybody thinks I should look a certain way. It’s really more about how I feel and about being healthy.

As a teenager, I had big breasts for my age, and my friends cracked on me a lot.

Help young people. Help small guys. Because small guys will be big. Young people will have the seeds you bury in their minds, and when they grow up, they will change the world.

We can best help you to prevent war not by repeating your words and following your methods but by finding new words and creating new methods.

I think the internet is really good in general because it helps people get access to more information.

And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

Help others achieve their dreams and you will achieve yours.

Do not be ashamed of help.

Go be a blessing. Your miracle is waiting for you as you help others.

Always do what is right. It will gratify half of mankind and astound the other.
