I'm against an all-white anything or an all-black anything.

We've begun to get justice.

It's wrong to kill.

Anybody who runs for president in this country and comes out as strong as the Democrats were about helping the poor folks and black folks is not going to win.

The main thing I believe in is freedom.

I loved Clinton; not as a Democrat, but as a person.

I'm a Republican, by the way.

So I'm in the Republican Party for the same reason I was in the Democratic Party: to make sure blacks are included, along with everyone else.

Speaking as a black person, welfare is the worst thing that's ever happened to us.

I believe welfare makes you lazy and unproductive.

I'm against abortion.

I'm a Republican and I'm gonna stay a Republican because they need somebody like me to stay in the Party and keep hammering away.

Welfare makes you dependent upon someone to take care of you.

And we never got the mule, let alone the forty acres.

The Republican Party is not inclusive.

Two people will never be President in my lifetime. A woman and a black.

I'm for prayer in schools.

Iraq did nothing to us. Iraq was not responsible for 9/11.

This is a racist country.

Go down to the Republican headquarters. They ain't got a single black working there. Not one.

The least I can do is show Medgar I still care. And Martin.

I'm for economic independence.

The Republican Party does not reach out.

I love the life I live. The Lord blessed me to be independent. I am independent.

I took Bobby Kennedy through the delta and he cried like a baby.

I feel there should be blacks in every Party.

We need to take responsibility and educate people. That's why black folks don't like me. I always say it's our responsibility to make safe neighborhoods. It's our job to get them cleaned up.

We've begun to put fear into those whites who think they can do anything they want to a black person and get away with it.

I'd rather be dead and in heaven than afraid to do what I think is right.

I believe in most of the things Republicans stand for.

I'm against an all-white anything or an all-black anything.

Any time the country is split 50/50, the leader is wrong.

The problem is, the Republican Party hasn't done anything to make this country better and I speak as a Republican.

I don't like a lot of social programs either because it makes you non-productive.

I don't believe in welfare.

Hands that picked cotton can now pick the mayor.

The stars don't look bigger, but they do look brighter.

If you're lucky enough to work with great actors and creative people, they're always just going to be who they are, so I don't think there's a difference between the Brits and the Americans.

No one, no social group, can today avoid the commitment to contribute to the clean up of public finances in order to prevent the financial collapse of Italy. The sacrifices will not be in vain, especially if the economy begins to grow again.

I've never made a plan for my life. I have just taken whatever opportunities have come and been very genuine with them.

Many of life's failures are experienced by people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

The simplest formula for the new conception of morality, which is beginning to be opposed to the moral dogma still esteemed by all society, but especially by the women, might be summed up in these words: Love is moral even without legal marriage, but marriage is immoral without love.

Part of the challenge of Most Wanted is trying to become the most notorious street racer on the pavement.

Evangelical Christians and I can sit down and talk one on one about how much we love Jesus, and yet I'm not carried in Christian bookstores.

My best advice for anyone out there that feels like, 'I don't have a million followers so why should I even give it a shot,' is that it's not about the numbers - it's about the engagement. That's how you can build influence.

It doesn't seem like it's been 50 years. I don't even feel like I'm 50 years old yet, though I've had all these knee and back operations.

Let no one trust so entirely to natural prudence as to persuade himself that it will suffice to guide him without help from experience.

I didn't realize that I was in a self-made prison of human approval and human acceptance. Didn't even realize it. Most of the prisons we live in we are not conscious of.

I never expected to win a Grand Slam because, for me, I was not good enough to beat those guys.
