I respect everyone, from the homeless brother and sister on the street to the executive that sits in the highest office named President Barack Obama. I respect everyone - but we over-respect no one.

Don't ever know who you may meet, or just because a person may not be dressed up all fancy, don't mean they're not an important person. You just don't ever know who you're gonna meet in life. So that's why I look at everybody as equal. Can't just judge. I treat everybody with respect. Every man.

I always have tried to treat people with respect, the way I want to be treated.

And Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values, like you work hard for what you want in life. That your word is your bond; that you do what you say you're going to do. That you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don't know them and even if you don't agree with them.

With me, what you see is what you get. I try to treat everyone with respect.

There are lots of people I admire and respect, but I don't necessarily want to be like them. I'm too happy being myself.

I think I have a certain respect for people, you know. And I guess a lot of times I expect that respect to go both ways.

I always see myself as, like, equal to everyone.

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

I have no respect for the passion of equality, which seems to me merely idealizing envy - I don't disparage envy, but I don't accept it as legitimately my master.
