There will always be crazy things that happen in our lives, but love is the central connector. If we commit to love and partnership, the other stuff doesnt matter.
Fundamentally, we all want the same thing. We want to love. We want to be loved, and we want to matter.
I say 'date potential.' The reason why is no matter who you date, anyway, five years from now, you're going to be different, and he's going to be different. The key is to really find somebody that you can grow with that you can change with, evolve with and that you can be partners with.
Dr. King said, 'We are all tied together in a garment of mutual destiny.' Which says to me no matter how well I may be doing in Hollywood, if a young brother or sister in Louisiana, the South Bronx, the South Side of Chicago, South Central Los Angeles - is not doing well, then I'm not doing very well.
Health is actually the foundational tool to help us live the life.
People listen for cues - when they are searching for a decision, they look to people they know. Young people can be apathetic in certain ways unless they hear from someone they like and admire about why they should be engaged and involved. If someone you love is doing a rally or concert, you may be engaged to register.
People are afraid of an unorganized, wasteful government.
Money is simply a tool to give you choices.
I'm not excusing crime or those who bring poison into the community, but I do want brothers and sisters in prison to know someone cares.
I believe that reality TV should be called 'not reality' TV; it's fiction.
You can live a healthy lifestyle and do the best to be aware of your body and conscious, and thats what I attempt to do.
Since Im in the entertainment business, I think I have to hold a mirror up to myself and say, Am I complicit in miseducating and misinforming our youth by participating in this business, or can I use this business to re-educate and uplift?
My first two books, Letters to a Young Brother and Letters to a Young Sister, were... distributed pretty widely. Judges in juvenile justice facilities started citing the book as required reading.
You cant have justice unless you have truth.
