Are you a racist? I believe everybody should have this in their movie collection.
I was raised to believe that excellence is the best deterrent to racism and sexism.
It's fulfilling being able to do this kind of television. And I believe continuing to have a voice and a platform to speak to the world is still the right thing to do.
I did not believe what I was told about being poor and black and female in Mississippi in 1954.
I don't believe in luck. Luck is just preparation meeting the moment of opportunity.
The biggest mistake in helping undeserved kids is not raising the bar high enough. Children will believe if you believe in them.
One of the truths I most deeply believe is that everything in life - everything - is energy. Within every one of us is the energy that makes the sun rise every day and keeps the planets aligned. It's there, already inside of you, waiting for you to know it. And when you tap in with that connection, that source, that miraculous energy, what I know for sure is that the universe rises up to meet you in unimaginable ways and help you create the life that you want.
Follow your passion. Do what you love, and the money will follow. Most people don't believe it, but it's true.
Well, I don't call you an atheist then. I think if you believe in the awe and the wonder and the mystery, then that is what God is. That is what God is, not the bearded guy in the sky.
Live life and take chances. Believe that everything happens for a reason and don't regret. Love to the fullest and you will find true happiness in life. Realize that things go wrong and people change, but things do go on. Sometimes things weren't meant to be. What is supposed to happen will work its way out.
I believe the choice to be excellent begins with aligning your thoughts and words with the intention to require more from yourself.
I believe that there are forces of light and darkness in the world, and I don't want to be a contributor to the force of darkness.
I believe everyday your life speaks to you - through every experience, through the people you meet, and even through pain, fear and self-doubt.
My father turned my life around insisting I be more than I was and by believing I could be more.
