Respect is not ever assigned it's earned.

I've learned how to look at things and not judge them but respect them and use it in a way that people understand that I respect them show them love and respect their reality.

Stand-up don't get no respect - it's the hardest thing to do in show business. You don't have no band and there's no music.

A good historian is timeless although he is a patriot he will never flatter his country in any respect.

The common denominator all Latinos have is that we want some respect. That's what we're all fighting for.

I believe that like most writers my personality comes through in the fiction. So in that respect my writing can't be like any other author's really.

I have the utmost respect for those who have come to this country legally and have contributed to the great melting pot that is America today. But those who have crossed our borders illegally have broken the law and the law ought to be enforced.

How sick one gets of being 'good ' how much I should respect myself if I could burst out and make everyone wretched for twenty-four hours embody selfishness.

What we call 'evil' doesn't necessarily deserve any kind of respect or understanding by any means it just deserves an acknowledgement of its complexity so we can better understand it - so we can help prevent it.

I even believe if you're killing a team you shouldn't stop. You should respect your opponents enough to play 100 percent the whole time. And by the same token if you're getting killed by the other team you should never quit.
