May we TREASURE the divine gift of communication, and may we use it wisely to BUILD and to assist others on this MARVELOUS JOURNEY through mortality.

Any CONVERSATION which does not include the context of the journey of the heart is by definition untrue to who we are as HUMAN BEINGS.

I'm exploring the MATURITY, the wisdom that just comes from having GONE around the sun 50 times. My experience is, 'Oh, I'm never really going to get it right. I'm never going to get it DONE. But that's not the point here.' The point is the JOURNEY.

I don't follow any of what the pop world is doing. Sometimes I FEEL LIKE that's a weakness, actually, that I'm too in my own bubble. But I'm REALLY just interested in the INNER journey. And pop is all about the exterior world, the material.

Throughout my JOURNEY in BASKETBALL, I always have someone to talk to in my FATHER. I know how HARD he had to work as an ATHLETE.

We must go beyond TEXTBOOKS, go out into the bypaths and untrodden depths of the WILDERNESS and travel and EXPLORE and TELL the WORLD the glories of our journey.

You cannot GO FAR ALONE. You ENJOY your journey better if you have PEOPLE by your side.

When you're guest-starring on another show, it really requires you to JUMP through hoops in a WAY, because you're servicing the stories of the main characters. You have to be able to portray a lot of different elements. You show up and GET on BOARD and get on their journey; you have to be flexible as to what they need for the role.

The JOURNEY of a THOUSAND MILES BEGINS with one STEP.

Being innovative in your PHILANTHROPY allows you to STRIDE FORWARD in your giving journey; you can MARRY your mind and heart to TURN charity into lasting impact; and you can become more ambitious in your giving.

I didn't have a business degree. I didn't have EXPERIENCE to work in somebody else's office. I NEVER built or RAN a department. So I was on this journey, and when the time came to make a decision, I was just going with my GUT.

When you are on assignment, you stick to the facts, limit your vision, and often CUT out the most revealing MATERIAL. There is no texture, no shades of gray. In FICTION, you can bring the reader on the perilous journey with your characters as they DISCOVER that war is more like a wilderness of mirrors, full of DANGER and uncertainty.

I LIKE it when a SCRIPT SHOWS you something new, and you can LEARN something through the journey of a film rather than being told things you already know.

I'm an American CHEF. I'm American. I live here. I LOVE being here. But, of COURSE, it is different. A BLACK MAN's journey is different.
