God hides things by putting them near us..

I often look for beauty in form and structure, and for ideas..

Since I went no grasse hath growne on my hele..

When I was 18 I already had a business going..

Things [only] exist once they are represented..

You can hold onto anything to make you carry on..

Take what you got and fly with it..

I've never been competitive with anybody but myself..

I always said I was never gonna be an entertainer, Suicide was never supposed to be entertainment..

Besides entertainment and action, I want to educate. You know, as a producer or director, we do have a responsibility to society..

When you're the ingénue no one is really interested in you for that..

I didn't get into entertainment until I was like 31. I didn't star in a movie until I was 46..

I am not an African. I am an American..

Waiting for opportunities in the entertainment industry is an impossibility; they are not coming. You have to make your own..

In entertainment value, the Democratic clambake usually lays it over the Republican conclave like ice cream over parsnips..

Politics is a highly tribal business..

No one survives life..

Charge for something and make more than you spend..

If you push too much for somebody that everyone knows is your friend, and that you've worked with before, it can backfire..

Strength is for service, not status.

I don't pull, I just receive..
