Would you be proud if your children grow up to be like you? If not, then it's time to turn your life around and start living an exemplary life.
Try your best to be caring and loving in your daily encounters with people. You could end up giving hope to someone who has given up on humanity.
Making excuses and pointing fingers will never make up for one's lack of success. So why even dare to waste any time on them?
If life knocks you down, get back up with a stronger positive attitude and show it why you weren't born to fail or surrender.
Seek within to discover your true passion in life, and then promise yourself to never give up until you introduce the light of reality to it.
I always felt my emancipation into truly being a grown-up was when I had to figure out how to fold up a king-size fitted bottom sheet on my own.
I feel like I've come out of this grown up, maybe because I live through the character vicariously and she grows up so much during the course of this story.
I've had years of teasing about my red hair, but I definitely think it toughened me up. If you're ginger, you end up pretty quick-witted.
When you were growing up in the 30s, 20s, of course the 40s, all black people at least in the Washington, D.C., area were required to live among themselves.
I find families intriguing, perhaps because I did not grow up in one. I was raised by a feminist, independent, single mother, a divorcee.
As soon as I could speak, I was singing. Before I could even speak full words, I would make up ones to sing and I have it on tape, too.
Well, let me tell you, ants are the dominant insects. They make up as much as a quarter of the biomass of all insects in the world. They are the principal predators. They're the cemetery workers.
Relent not in thy effort to do, when you have to do; for in delay lies mediocrity and in giving up lies perishing; but when the grounds are not ready for landing, hover purposefully.
I try to be as organic and natural as possible when it comes to make up, so I always carry around coconut oil for removing and jojoba or Argan oil as a moisturiser.
When people see what I have now, they have no idea of where I came from and how I didn't have anything growing up.
To wish bad things for someone else, is like looking for high blood pressure. Because strong people fall, but stand up again.
Year Up for me is a year in which the young adults that we serve have an opportunity to move up in their lives and gain the access and opportunity they need to realize their potential.
I'm a fast and impatient dresser, so I can't dress myself up for too long. I don't even need a lot of makeup, so I'm usually ready in about half an hour.
I exercise every day. I don't get up and have a cup of coffee anymore, I get up and move to get blood to my brain.
I'd never really considered film. If I'd thought about film more growing up, I probably would have changed my name. I had no concept of my name in lights.
Theatre is expensive to go to. I certainly felt when I was growing up that theatre wasn't for us. Theatre still has that stigma to it. A lot of people feel intimidated and underrepresented in theatre.
