Every now and then I have blissful moments of thanking God for all the amazing things that are happening. When I leave the White House after just meeting Obama or when I see my face on the cover of 'Rolling Stone' or when I meet someone who tells me that their daughter is inspired by me those are moments that are incredibly joyful.

On the stage you alone hold the key and on the night you have to trust that the director has inspired you enough to take the material and run with it.

My mother inspired me to treat others as I would want to be treated regardless of age race or financial status.

I'm inspired by people who keep on rolling no matter their age.

Old age adds to the respect due to virtue but it takes nothing from the contempt inspired by vice it whitens only the hair.
