A birthday is just another day where you go to work and people give you love. Age is just a state of mind, and you are as old as you think you are. You have to count your blessings and be happy.
I don't fight for the money. I fight for my legacy. I fight for history. I fight for my people.
Election days come and go. But the struggle of the people to create a government which represents all of us and not just the one percent — a government based on the principles of economic, social, racial and environmental justice — that struggle continues.
Life is all about evolution. What looks like a mistake to others has been a milestone in my life. Even if people have betrayed me, even if my heart was broken, even if people misunderstood or judged me, I have learned from these incidents. We are human and we make mistakes, but learning from them is what makes the difference.
People are always going to go shopping. A lot of our effort is just: 'How do we make the retail experience a great one?'
It's not what other people believe you can do; it's what you believe you can do.
The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples' money.
No matter what side of the argument you are on, you always find people on your side that you wish were on the other.
To hold a people in oppression you have to convince them first that they are supposed to be oppressed.
Because of media hype and woefully inadequate information, too many people nowadays are deathly afraid of their food, and what does fear of food do to the digestive system? I am sure that an unhappy or suspicious stomach, constricted and uneasy with worry, cannot digest properly.

In the time we have it is surely our duty to do all the good we can to all the people we can in all the ways we can.
I truly believe my job is to make sure people smile.
The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born-that there is a genetic factor to leadership. This myth asserts that people simply either have certain charismatic qualities or not. That's nonsense; in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born.
Escapist literature gets a bad rap. But I think escape is important for a lot of people in a lot of places.
Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more.
There are people who are unhappy with everything.
With me, what you see is what you get. Yes, call me naive, but I love life. I am happy, and for that, I make no apologies. I do like to see the best in people, and when someone is nice to my face, I tend to believe them.
I really think there are many great organizations out there getting the word out about LGBT youth and bullying, but GLAAD has this way of making sure the stories about gay people are sent out and heard and not covered up, and I like that.
The golf facet of my life doesn't go with the rest of my life, which is a rough-and-tumble life. I work in real estate development, which is the toughest business, and I do it in the toughest city. I deal with ruthless people.
