“I read every agreement of every contract. Anything I put my signature on, I really do read them. And I find things.”

I spent 43 years of my life in anger and I know what it can do… Now I pray a lot. I do whatever I need to do to keep me out of that anger, out of that place where I can’t grow and be better.

I have never one day been ashamed of my son. Even when he was not right, that’s ok.

People can like him or not like him individually. But I need for them to know that he was a person of substance, and he was worthy, and he was a good son and a good brother and a good participant in the community.

I’m not a filmmaker. I’m not a music producer by choice.

Nelson Mandela’s contribution to the people of South Africa has been immeasurable and I look forward to helping with his work all over the country.

Revolution is Tupac showing a young artist that he can scribble in a notebook and it’s worth a lot.

For me, revolution is around young people with no skills, college education, and coming from everywhere having an economic impact on an entire system which no one notices.

All we ever wanted was for Tupac to have the opportunity to tell his story.

That’s what people are who have that impact on us. They are ahead of their time. They can’t help it. They get put into a small, frail body, and they are given a light that is much too bright for that cavity.

When I carried Tupac, when I was five months pregnant they put me back in jail, my bail was revoked. When my bail was revoked, I was not allowed to have my own food. I could only have what was there.

Arts can save children, no matter what’s going on in their homes.

We cannot go anywhere with anger that we haven’t already been.

The critics never ever one time fairly criticized my son.

The worst thing that can happen to you is if you don’t take responsibility for what you did wrong.

Whatever else anyone says he was, he may have been. But Tupac really was a great American artist. The passage of time allows us to see things as they really are: We see the poetry; we see the personality; we see different sides.

I know that my son was an honest person and an honest artist, and what he gave from himself through his art was the depth of his humanity.

We had many more points of agreement than we had points of difference, but we did differ, and the bigger we got, the more insistent we got that each one of us should have his way.

We support any deal that denies Iran nuclear weapons

Death must be an evil and the gods agree; for why else would they live for ever?

That has a continuous and robust inspection mechanism and that has snap-back provisions in case Iran violates the agreement.

The scent of wine, oh how much more agreeable, laughing, praying, celestial and delicious it is than that of oil!

Body and mind, like man and wife, do not always agree to die together.

There is nothing more agreeable than having a place where one can throw on the floor as many cigar butts as one pleases without the subconscious fear of a maid who is waiting like a sentinel to place an ashtray where the ashes are going to fall.

Democracy’s my idea. I do not agree with communists, my acts prove. Free press in Cuba – free ideas, freedom religion belief.
