I once read that the only way to enjoy life is to observe everything with a sense of detached amusement. I don't always do that, but it serves you well to keep it in mind.

You'll never see me working five days a week again.

There is a lot to life, and a lot more than just television to life.

If I’m a young black man in South Central L.A., where poverty is rampant and unemployment is skyrocketing, I see that Washington’s promises of a year ago have gone unfulfilled, I see that perhaps for a second time, the court’s inability to mete out justice in a blind fashion, why shouldn’t I vent my anger?

Success takes the courage to know who you really are and be comfortable with that.

It's not that I dislike many people. It's just that I don't like many people.

Live your life with a purpose beyond yourself, and you'll find that the world is as bold and broad as the interests that brought you here.

I feel responsibility for a lot of things that I manage to touch.

In the first two years this is a man [Clinton] who tried his best to balance the budget, to reform health care, to fight for gay rights, to support personal freedoms. Couldn’t those be considered doing the right things, evidence of true character?

I'm still going to do television. I'm just not going to do morning television. I would like to do some things that satisfy interests, private interests.

I feel young, but my body doesn't agree.
