The greatest sin is judgment without knowledge.

Apologizes are pointless, regrets come too late. What matters is you can move, on you can grow.

I got fired when I was a dishwasher at Denny's. That set me back a little bit. You don't realize how important dishwashers are until you do the job.

I think it's your duty to overcome what you inherit in life.

It takes a very strange person to enjoy fame, with all the by-products that come with it. It's not necessarily a thrill.

Life is supposed to get tough.

No day-to-day mishaps or indignities can really compromise your sense of self after you've survived a deep tragedy.
