Money isn't important, but you have to have enough, so you don't have to think about it. Thinking about money is a drag.
If you have money and you have fame, but you don't have any confidence in your blackness, then it's all for nothing.
I'm lucky to have met so many people who have been involved in peace and who have been peace prize winners.
My parents have had a love marriage, so I have made it pretty clear to them that I, too, will have a love marriage.
And most people have a woman in their heart, most men have a woman in their heart and most women have a man in their heart.
Men have just come up to me and asked for my number right away. That doesn't work. You have to know somebody and have a conversation.
I would much rather have men ask why I have no statue than why I have one.
Throughout history there have been those who have created change, and others who have feared it.

If you have to be the antagonist, you often have a lot more creative powers. You have a lot more color to you.
I was just so lucky with 'Real Women Have Curves.' At that point, I would have done an insurance commercial. I would have done anything.
We have to defend views we don't share and impose them on the public; deal with questions we don't understand and vulgarize them for the gallery. We can't have ideas of our own, we have to have those of the editor; and even the editor doesn't have th...

I have given up on speech with the Rev; there is no use explaining that you have to learn where your pain is. You have to burrow down and find the wound, and if the burden of it is too terrible to shoulder you have to shout it out; you have to shout ...
I wonder if ever again Americans can have that experience of returning to a home place so intimately known, profoundly felt, deeply loved, and absolutely submitted to? It is not quite true that you can't go home again. I have done it, coming back her...
Life is funny sometimes. Of course it isn’t as funny as smashing your brand new Mustang convertible into your house and having your life flash before your eyes. Sitting here in my car in the middle of my den, I can't help but think that things coul...
