We are not post-racial. And in many ways we don't even know how to have a conversation about being post-racial. Until we get out of that old-school way of thinking about race and opportunity and the ability to transcend some of the past of this count...
I've never tried to measure myself on any scale. A person is more multifaceted than the label they often get stuck with. On the other hand someone's whole behaviour allows you to characterise them in a certain way. This person has liberal convictions...

Elin: You know what my nightmare is? That I'll stay in Amal. That I'll never move from here. I'll get kids, a car, a house... all of that. Then my husband will leave for someone younger and I'll be stuck with kids that just scream and nag. It's so fu...
[Father Cornelius and Ruby Rhod see the bomb stuck to the door] Priest Vito Cornelius: It's a - it's a - it's a - it's a - it's a - it's a... DJ Ruby Rhod: No no no no no no. 'Cuz if it was a bomb, the alarms would go off 'cuz all these hotels have b...
Paul Edgecomb: We'll be doing this for real tomorrow night and I don't want nobody to remember some stupid joke like that and get it going again. You ever try to not to laugh in church when something funny gets stuck in your head? Same goddamn thing.
Fishlegs: [to Tuffnut] Your mom let you get a tattoo? Tuffnut: It's not a tattoo, it's a birth mark! Ruffnut: Okay, I've been stuck with you since birth and that was never there before. Tuffnut: Yes it was! You've just never seen me from the left sid...
Doug Billings: At least our trip wasn't a total loss. Alan Garner: Why do you say that? Doug Billings: While I was stuck on the roof I found about 80,000 dollars worth of Bellagio chips in my pocket. Looks like we're heading home with some money, boy...
Wilson: I'll tell you something, Myrt. Myrtle Mae Simmons: Yeah? Wilson: You know, you not only got a nice build, but you got something else, too. Myrtle Mae Simmons: Really? What? Wilson: You got the screwiest uncle that ever stuck his puss inside o...

Jessica: Where's Jack? Maya: Probably stuck in some checkpoint somewhere. Jessica: You two hooked up yet? Maya: Hello, I work with him. I'm not that girl that fucks. It's unbecoming. Jessica: So? Little fooling around wouldn't hurt you.

We can't all succeed following the same path as successful men followed. Each person has it's own destiny. You might get stuck at any stage if it's not your way but you'll fly away if it's yours. Follow your mind and take serious anything you do.
At one point, I was in a place where it didn't feel like it was going to happen, and I was feeling pretty down on myself. But I stuck to it, and now I have a hit comedy on my hands. You've got to keep plugging away at it. If you really believe in you...
