People have a problem with me being different, but that propels me forward in life.

If you went to your closet today, would you pull out the same outfit you wore 10 or 15 years ago? You wear feelings and faith differently as well.

Change will come slowly, across generations, because old beliefs die hard even when demonstrably false.

Look, I know what it feels like to believe you're 'different' in a bad way.

If there's any message to my work, it is ultimately that it's OK to be different, that it's good to be different, that we should question ourselves before we pass judgment on someone who looks different, behaves different, talks different, is a different color.

It doesn't matter if you look different. You're still the same as everybody else because you have the same dream.

The older that we get and the different stages we go through in life, it seems like we become different people. But I think that the truth is you are always the same person. You just discover these new things about yourself.

And that's just what I'm saying. I would never want to be like certain people, who change the way they dress, go out in disguise, wear a big floppy hat and dark shades. I would hate that.

At the end of the day, people have to respect people's differences. I am different than some people would like me to be.

As long as I continue to put forth who I am and what I believe, than I think it all balances out.
