My act has always reflected what's going on in my life.

I actually think that the most efficacious way of making a difference is to lead by example, and doing random acts of kindness is setting a very good example of how to behave in the world.

I always try to be reasonable and effective.

Feeling like you're respected among the people who do the same thing you do is incredible and necessary.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.

I think of my actions every day: what seems to be important and what isn't.

I was raised to believe that we all have a civic duty and a responsibility as Americans to improve our neighborhoods and our nation.

For example, I tend to personally reward myself for specific acts of exceptional discipline.

I have a rigid self-accountability. You have to work hard.

I'm a person who promotes the concept of accountability to a great extent, and I've spoken in the Parliament and reinforced the need for accountability.
