“The only thing that keeps some people from being happy is they’re greedy. They don’t follow their heart. You know, like I say, you can come up here today and say, “Hey, I’ll give you a million dollars, walk off from this.” I’d tell you no. I wouldn’t be happy with a million dollars. I really wouldn’t. ’Cause I’m just happy doin’ this.”

“There’s two kinds of people in this world. There are people who talk about it, and people who do it.”

“It’s what you do with what you have that makes you what you are.” Because some people will put limits on you because you’re black, or because you’re a woman, they’ll put limits on you because you’re Hispanic or because you live in a poor neighborhood. My mother said the only thing that limits you is you. Yes, you may have to struggle a little bit more because of people and their prejudices but you can always find a way around it. But you cannot let people put you in a box and make you feel inferior. No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. [Laughs] Those are all Momisms, but they’re true.”

“It’s not loving a man that makes life harder for gay guys, it’s homophobia. It’s not the color of their skin that makes life harder for people of color; it’s racism. It’s not having vaginas that makes life harder for women, it’s sexism. And it’s ageism, far more than the passage of time, that makes growing older harder for all of us.”

“We love our mother unknowingly, and only realize how deep-rooted that love is at the ultimate separation.”
