Ty nie si tvoja práca. Nie si ani tvoje bankové konto. Nie si auto, ktoré šoféruješ a tiež nie si obsah tvojej peňaženky.

Každý človek raz zomrie, no nie každý skutočne žije.

Sprav to alebo to nesprav. Neexistuje žiadne skúsim.

Sme tým, kým sme sa rozhodli byť.

Život nie je o počte nádychov, ale o chvíľach, ktoré Vám berú dych.

Nedovoľ, aby ti niekto dal pocítiť, že si nezaslúžiš to, čo chceš.

Nie sú to naše schopnosti, ktoré ukážu kým v skutočnosti sme… ale naše rozhodnutia.

Ak by sa ľudia pozreli do zrkadla, zbadali by osobu, ktorá je zodpovedná za naplnenie väčšiny ich modlitieb.

Nedovoľ, aby ti niekto hovoril, že niečo nedokážeš, dokonca ani ja. Rozumieš?! Ak máš sen, musíš ho ochraňovať. Ľudia niečo nevedia spraviť sami, a tak ti budú rozprávať, že to nedokážeš tiež. Ak niečo chceš, choď a vezmi si to. Bodka.

Spoznávať svet i nebezpečie, ktoré prinesie, prekonávať hranice, zbližovať sa, spoznávať druhých a cítiť. TO JE ZMYSLOM ŽIVOTA.

Nemôžeš žiť svoj život pre potešenie ostatných. Rozhodovať by si sa mal podľa seba.

Všetko, čo musíme urobiť je rozhodnúť sa, ako naložíme s časom, ktorý nám bol daný.

To čo robíš práve teraz je to, na čom záleží.

Naše životy sú formované príležitosťami, dokonca aj tými, ktoré zmeškáme.

Úžasní ľudia sa nerodia úžasnými. Stanú sa nimi.

Ja stále verím v raj. Teraz ale viem, že to nie je nejaké miesto, ktoré môžete hľadať, pretože sa nenachádza tam kam smerujete. Je to o tom, ako sa cítite v daný okamih vo Vašom živote, keď ste niečoho súčasťou a keď zistíte, že to trvá večne.

Až keď nájdeš mier vo svojom vnútri, až vtedy objavíš skutočné spojenie s ostatnými.

Viem čo musím urobiť teraz. Musím aj naďalej zhlboka dýchať, pretože zajtra opäť vyjde slnko. Kto vie čo môže príliv priniesť?

Život je príliš rýchly. Ak sa nezastavíš a nepoobzeráš okolo seba aspoň raz za čas, mohol by ti ujsť.

Odvaha nie je neprítomnosť strachu, ale skôr úsudok, že je niečo dôležitejšie ako samotný strach. Statoční nemôžu žiť večne, ale opatrní nežijú vôbec.

Ja som pánom svojho osudu, ja som kapitánom svojej duše.

Pressure can be good. It helps you to see what you're all about.

It is at Easter that Jesus is most human, and like all humans, he fails and is failed. His is not an all-powerful God, it is an all-vulnerable God.

The words that I'm most happy with are the ones that come from my subconscious rather than my conscious. They just feel right. I think that's the same with music, really. If you're doing an album, there's ten or eleven sets of lyrics, so you get to the point of inspiration ten or eleven times - it's difficult.

God would have to beam into me what I was doing and what the album actually sounded like because usually when I start a project like that, I already know what the album sounds like before I start it.

A text message has no soul, no matter how many commas you shift.

I find it frustrating when people wear belts with braces. That's an interesting one.

As I've gotten older and I've watched people in productions, I go to the theater when I go back to London and see friends in Broadway, I think maybe there might come a time here to get back up there and prove oneself. It's just an itch; it's a nagging itch to go back there.

Every man on the planet should do some physical work: he should help in the bread-labor of mankind. He should also do some of the intellectual work: he should help in the thought-labor of mankind. In a word, every thinker should work, and every worker should think.

Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet.

Our flaws are obvious yet we are loved and able to love if we choose because there is that bit of the divine still smoldering in us.

It certainly makes no sense to enact more laws if we cannot, or do not, enforce the ones we have.

Being successful is about professionalism, and chewing gum is unprofessional. Its also a huge pet peeve of mine.

I do not, in fact, use many puns. Certainly there are far fewer than people believe. But I suspect the ones I do occasionally use tend to hang around in people's memories for a while.

I live in Brooklyn, New York, and hail from the 'East Bay,' Oakland, CA.

You know, I don't talk about the characters that I play. Years ago, I was a little timid about it and I kind of squirmed when I was asked, 'Could you tell us something about your character.' Now with a little self-confidence that comes with the grey beard, I just flatly refuse.

Crime stories are our version of sitting round a camp fire and telling tales. We enjoy being scared under safe circumstances. That's why there's no tradition of crime writing in countries that have wars.

I did not think this doll could ever be this huge.

The unemployment rate is still twice as high for blacks as for whites.

Email is familiar. Its comfortable. Its easy to use. But it might just be the biggest killer of time and productivity in the office today.

If there was no black man there would be no Rock'n'Roll. The beat, the rhythms of Africa are what created Rock'n'Roll and Jazz.

Stress exacerbates any problem, whether it's diabetes, heart trouble, MS, or whatever.

I've never been in love with fashion, actually; trends and catwalks don't interest me. I love clothes; I love them historically and currently. They represent a spirit of the times and the zeitgeist.

My fans saw 'Roll Bounce,' but also that older crowd who might not have been familiar with me on the music tip saw 'Roll Bounce' and loved it. 'Roll Bounce' opened up that door for me to have older people love Bow Wow and opened up that door so all of the kids would love Bow Wow. My fan base is really diverse; it's all ages and all colors.

Music should come crashing out of your speakers and grab you, and the lyrics should challenge whatever preconceived notions that listener has.
