I've been lucky enough to work with extraordinary teachers along the way, and I'm excited to share what I've learned with graduate students at SNHU. I'm just as excited for what I'll learn from them.
Maps were so much easier than words. Words had a way of getting muddled, or meaning two things at once.

I follow Coach Spurrier because he seems to have an entertaining way of communicating.
Leap and grow your wings on the way down
Cinema is a territory. It exists outside of movies. It's a place I live in. It's a way of seeing things, of experiencing life. But making films, that's supposed to be a profession.
I have learned from my experiences in this industry that there is absolutely no way to control people's opinions on your performance in your movie. You go out there, promote your film and hope people like the work you did.
I believe humankind has looked at Climate Change in that same way: as if it were a fiction, happening to someone else’s planet, as if pretending that Climate Change wasn’t real would somehow make it go away.
Never let too much criticism or too much praise get in your way.
I could not deprive you of the revelation of all that you could accomplish together, of a friendship that will define you both in ways you cannot yet realize.
Don't diminish yourself in any way. Dare to be all that you are.
The more competition and the more voices - that's why I love bloggers and anything else the Internet can produce in the way of new news voices.

His vision was just outstanding. If you think of him in the same way as Pele then you would come close.
At the end of the day, you should take every opportunity that comes your way.
You don't deploy forces into harm's way without knowing what's going on.
If I know the way home and am walking along it drunkenly, is it any less the right way because I am staggering from side to side!

I'm very much about the environment, I'm very much about health, about being able to, at the very least, eat organic, whole foods that are healthy for us. And then, of course, everyone being able to eat and at least have a humane way to live. There's enough for everybody, but unfortunately, there's a lot of greed and a lot of ego.
I'm sure great scripts are hard to find, but I'm definitely open, and waiting to see what comes my way.
I don't go to church so much, the way my life is, but it's in me every day.
Working with Gabby [Sidibe], I realized immediately that she was amazingly talented. I could tell just by the way she'd get into the role.
Fly Away changed my life. There are certain songs that do. When I won the Grammy, I was in Paris. I sort of forgot about it.
Appreciate your friends and loved ones. There's no way of knowing what's coming next, so appreciate those who are close to you.
