“I feel, so my empathy is strong for mankind in general.”

I refuse to accept the idea that money is evil. People make things evil and negative.

All music now is influenced by Hip Hop. It’s so deeply ingrained in the culture.

All of my close friends have been in my life for years. My best friends are all people I met in grade school, going back as far as 3rd grade.

I’m pretty grounded in a lifestyle which disciplines me and gives me a sense of familiarity and comfort.

I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas and seasonally lived in New Orleans and Boston.

There’s very few shows that truly reflect specific ethnic experiences, and when they come and come right, they’re a hit.

I have a unique ability to mock everything. I’m a sponge by nature, thats what my environment made me.

I’m reminded everyday that I was born to do great things, I believe that and when it’s my time I shall.

It feels good to turn on the TV and have options, a variety. That’s why television is so good.

Actors don’t act, we’re just being in a different circumstance and scenario.

I know when to go and when to stop. I’m the red, the yellow, and the green light. That’s me in a nutshell.

As for super-stardom, I can say that I’m ready for anything. I feel like I’ve mastered so many stages in my life and the cool thing is, I don’t see that energy changing anything.

I think it’s really important to teach our children about their lineage and it especially makes a difference if you share that information while they’re young.

I’ve always been an actress, entertaining my family was the start. I’m a goof ball among many of my cousins and siblings.

I think it’s a beautiful thing how Hip Hop is received by the world.

I’m just vibrant. I try to bring that to everything I do.

How to become a really modern society when today we are so – as a human being, we feel so powerful. We have high technology and a superb way of controlling our life. And at the same time, in many ways we are so primitive.

When human beings are scared and feel everything is exposed to the government, we will censor ourselves from free thinking. That’s dangerous for human development.

I don’t personally feel any association with a kind of culture related to state, or culture related to power, which I think is always disgusting.

Feel this moment, see it with a willingness to experience it deeply, whether it be good, bad, or indifferent. Emotionally and feelingly be fully present, right here, vulnerable, with your heart. Just be present. Don’t live from your conditioned mind, live from unconditional truth.

I do feel quite strongly about this that probably one of the things that unfortunately this age now to get a Nobel Prize is to really use part of it to help the young people get excited about science.

It is so inspiring when you come across a woman who is very strong and dedicated and is amazing at what they do. That’s how I feel about Meryl Streep.

I just feel happy to be in America, like I said, it’s the most beautiful country in the world.

It simply means that if this desire to feel good is stronger than the yearning to see, know, and experience Truth, then this desire will always be distorting the perception of what is Real, while corrupting one’s deepest integrity.
