“Not every move you make has to be a great leap”

Hollywood is full of very liberal people, but it still has an infrastructure that needs to be broken.

I don’t believe that people create their own visions. Rather, I believe that visions are actually God’s way of communicating with us.

The elected officials should be working for the voters who elected them. Money corrupts the process. Why would you be giving a candidate money unless you expect something in return?

The research shows that if you meditate, the mind becomes still, and they can see the functionality and gray matter in the brain increase, the nervous system calm, the immune system improve and a reduction in stress.

I think that diversity is key for the next American entrepreneurs. They want to be a part of this society where there is so much diversity they have to have people from all the experiences.

The world belongs to the people who say, ‘I can’.

Well, it’s the last step of the Civil Rights Movement: you know, wrap your hands around some money.

No matter where you’re from or what you’ve done, you’re never stuck in a particular circumstance, relationship, or cycle unless you say you are.

You have to be present, awake and happy now.

I think I’m less afraid of failure than some others.

No matter where you want to go, as long as you follow your path with faith, dedication and hard work, you are going to get there.

A poet or a comedian can say what’s on the mind of people. They should be funny. They should make you laugh. It may be so truthful that it hurts, but it makes you laugh.

I applaud what the Oscars are doing to promote diversity. I think it’s great.

Never pass up any opportunity to share your gifts with the world.

There’s something about the authenticity that Hollywood is missing when it comes to urban culture.

It’s all about the work. Nothing is going to fall into your lap. If you want to be a lawyer, see yourself as a lawyer, go to the library and start learning the law. If you want to be a rapper, start rapping and get out there. Live your life as if you already are where you want to be.

Nature does not make leaps.

The product that wins is the one that bridges customers to the future, not the one that requires a giant leap.

One of the things that happens when people make the leap from a certain amount of money to tens of millions of dollars is that the people around you dramatically change.

Dare to declare who you are. It is not far from the shores of silence to the boundaries of speech. The path is not long, but the way is deep. You must not only walk there, you must be prepared to leap.

Let every man look before he leaps.

Prayer for me is an updward leap of the heart

Never stop! Not until you walk on the moon, then leap further.

A great leap in the dark.
