There is no greater source of strength and power for me in my life than going still, being quiet and recognizing what real power is.
I hope... to open the door to the possibilities for a world of people who have never been or even thought of going to a Broadway show.
I had been convinced that I should do the book because I was turning 40. Well, turning 40 doesn't mean that all of a sudden you know more than you did when you were 39 or 38, ... At the time, (canceling the book) was the hardest decision I had ever made.
I just want to say shame on anybody for thinking that I was upset for not being able to get into a clothes store and buy a purse, ... Please, please.
You've got to follow your passion. You've got to figure out what it is you love--who you really are. And have the courage to do that. I believe that the only courage anybody ever needs is the courage to follow your own dreams.
All you have to do is tell the truth and come clean for your sake and the sake of all of use who so believed in you. Maybe this is the beginning of another kind of truth for you.
The underlying message of redemption in James Frey's memoir still resonates with me and I know it resonates with millions of other people who have read this book and will continue to read this book.
This is a great day and we're just getting started.
The Color Purple' has long been a part of my life, from the first time I read it over 20 years ago until now, I've always wanted as many people as possible to experience this story, ... To present this Broadway production is a dream come true and a full circle moment for me.
A Million Little Pieces' is an experience. And when you finally, reluctantly, turn the last page, you want to meet the man who lived to tell this tale.
My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you I the best place for the next moment.
The man who believes he can do something is probably right, and so is the man who believes he can t. Anonymous I don't think of myself as a poor deprived ghetto girl who made good. I think of myself as someone who from an early age knew I was responsible for myself, and I had to make good.
I do not believe in failure. It is not failure if you enjoyed the process.
I hope you know how much I loved your mother.
