A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it.
Sometimes I am moody or bubbly, and then at other times, I just want to disconnect. I am an extreme person.
I'm not the kind of person who tries to be cool or trendy, I'm definitely an individual.
A nice person is a 'yes' person, whereas a good person is a person who accepts their responsibility in things and moves forward and tries to constantly evolve and isn't afraid to say no or challenge someone or be honest or truthful.
Probably the worst time in a person's life is when they have to kill a family member because they are the devil. But otherwise it's been a pretty good day.
A person who sees a problem is a human being; a person who finds a solution is visionary; and the person who goes out and does something about it is an entrepreneur.
As a surgeon you have to have a controlled arrogance. If it's uncontrolled, you kill people, but you have to be pretty arrogant to saw through a person's chest, take out their heart and believe you can fix it. Then, when you succeed and the patient survives, you pray, because it's only by the grace of God that you get there.
It's unarguable that the right shoes can really add elegance to an outfit and to the person who's wearing them. Take a pair of high heels, for instance. Suddenly, you're looking taller, shoulders back, body curved.

Changing laws and changing the political dialogue, while necessary, is insufficient to ensure that bullying stops; to ensure that every young person is supported by their parents and their teachers as they question who they are and they discover who they are regardless of the sexuality.
Becoming a father increases your capacity for love and your level of patience. It opens up another door in a person — a door which you may not even have known was there. That's what I feel with my son. There's suddenly another level of love that expands. My son is my greatest joy, out of everything in my life.
I am a deeply superficial person.
Kids don't see me as an oldies person when I go out on stage. They see me as an energy force.
The rate at which a person can mature is directly proportional to the embarrassment he can tolerate.
Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.
A brand for a company is like a reputation for a person. You earn reputation by trying to do hard things well.
I am not a passive person, but I chose to fall into a more submissive role in our relationship because I wanted to do everything in my power to make my marriage and family work.
A smile is the light in your window that tells others that there is a caring, sharing person inside.
I grew up in the South under segregation. So, I know what terrorism feels like — when your father could be taken out in the middle of the night and lynched just because he didn't look like he was in an obeying frame of mind when a white person said something he must do.
