“If my brother and I wanted money in our pockets, we had to get jobs – my first was at 15, at Burger King.”

If there are kids who want to follow in my footsteps, I’d say that my shoes are too big for them to fill! But their shoe size is just perfect.

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.

The person who decides what shall be the food and drink of a family, and the modes of its preparation, is the one who decides, to a greater or less extent, what shall be the health of that family.

I feel like, with makeup, I really picked it up on my own. There’s no one really in my family – my grandma is probably the closest – who loves makeup like I do.

Seeking support from friends and and family is like having people gathered around at your deathbed. It’s nice, but when the ship sails, all they can do is stand on the dock waving goodbye.

All women, everywhere, have the same hopes: we want to be self-sufficient and create better lives for ourselves and our loved ones.

I’m more eager to have kids than I am to go back to college. I want to be a mom really badly.

The biggest pieces of work that we do are vaccines, because those save lives, and also family planning. Because if a woman can space the births of her children, it changes everything for her health and her child’s health.

I’m a family guy. Most important thing in my life by far is my relationship with my wife and my sons, daughters-in-law, and 18 grandchildren. And for me, this is all about them.

Conservatism has had from its inception vigorously positive, intellectually rigorous agenda and thinking. That agenda should have in my three pillars: strengthen the economy, strengthen our security, and strengthen our families.
