“I have nothing against old people; I want to be one myself one day.”

He’s got to bring something stronger than that. That’s like bringing milk to a bar, it’s not strong enough

Unfortunately, as I tell my white friends, we as black people, we’re never going to be successful not because of you white people but because of other black people.

Half Man, Half Sit-Out-The-Season.

This is why I hate white people. You guys try to turn everything into a racial issue.

I don’t have time to put up with the politics. Who’s a Democrat? Who’s a Republican? Who’s liberal? Who’s conservative? Man, can my daughter just go to a school and not get killed? Can these people get a good job? That’s what I’m concerned about.

I was a Republican until they lost their minds.

When you get arrested it’s in big letters. When you get acquitted it’s in small letters.

My initial response was to sue her for defamation of character, but then I realized that I had no character.

Social media is where losers go to feel important.

I’m not paid to be a role model. I’m paid to wreak havoc on the basketball court.

It’s the kind of game that makes you go home and beat your wife.

Being black or white isn’t an accomplishment. What you do with your life – or what you accomplish with your life – dictates what you should be proud of.

When I speak to kids I tell them, ‘Hey, you think your parents are a pain in the ass now, but they’re going to get smarter as you get older.’

I’d never buy my girl a watch… she’s already got a clock over the stove.

I don’t think of myself as giving interviews. I just have conversations. That gets me in trouble.

I just wish all these young black kids would realize how significant it is to stop acting a fool out there, killing each other, not getting their education. You know, people have died to put us in a situation to be successful.

You are as old as you look. If you are fit and pretty at an X age, why won’t filmmakers want to cast you, whether you are married or not?

May my heart always be open to little birds, who are the secrets of living. Whatever they sing is better than to know. And if men should not hear them – then men are old.

Frankly, we actresses are so much in a hurry. We feel we have very few years to shine in our career, so we neglect our personal life. But for me, both aspects are equally important. I don’t want to grow old and have regrets.

The person who insists on using yesterday’s methods in today’s world won’t be in business tomorrow.

Suppose Life is an old man carrying flowers on his head.

Sometimes there’s truth in old cliches. There can be no real peace without justice. And without resistance there will be no justice.

There are very few joys in life greater than spontaneity. Spontaneity means to be in the moment; it means acting out of your awareness, not acting according to your old conditionings.

I ache and long and feel in a language older than ours; one without words or phrases, consisting only of melancholy.
