Hard work works. Working really hard is what successful people do. And in this text tweet, twerk world that you've grown up in, remember just because you're doing a lot more doesn't mean you're getting a lot more done. Remember that. Just because you're doing a lot more, doesn’t mean you're getting a lot more done. Don't confuse movement with progress.
My mission was to take the invisible, the unloved and make them the heroes.
Women, we’re nurturers, that’s what’s expected of us. We have our children, we have our husbands if we're lucky enough, and our partners. But we have to find personal fulfillment. We have to follow our dreams. We have to say, "I can do that, and I should be allowed to do that".
Fail big. Today is the beginning of the rest of your life. And it's a new world out there, it's a mean world out there. And you only live once, so do what you feel passionate about. Take chances professionally, don't be afraid to fail.
What I know for sure is that speaking your truth is the most powerful tool we all have. And I’m especially proud and inspired by all the women who have felt strong enough and empowered enough to speak up and share their personal stories.
Disrespect invites disrespect. Violence incites violence. When the powerful use their position to bully others, we all lose.
Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners. If you kick'em all out, you'll have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts, which are not the arts.
We’re alive! We can make a difference! We can turn this ship in the way we wanna go, man! Towards love, creating a healthy planet for all of us.
Put God first in everything you do. Everything that you think you see in me. Everything that I've accomplished, everything that you think I have – and I have a few things. Everything that I have is by the grace of God. Understand that. It’s a gift.
The Golden Globes are to the Oscars what Kim Kardashian is to Kate Middleton - a bit louder, a bit trashier, a bit drunker and more easily bought - allegedly!
I want all the girls watching here and now to know that a new day is on the horizon! And when that new day finally dawns, it will be because of a lot of magnificent women, many of whom are right here in this room tonight, and some pretty phenomenal men, fighting hard to make sure that they become the leaders who take us to the time when nobody ever has to say "me too" again. Thank you.
Pay your taxes, mind your business and keep Will Smith’s wife’s name out of your (bleeping) mouth.
What has remained the same for every person who is lucky enough to be on television is the belief that we've been given an opportunity to do something special. We've been granted a gift, a canvas to paint with our talent, one that can make people laugh or cry or maybe do both.
Don't just aspire to make a living. Aspire to make a difference.
You'll never see a U-Haul behind a hearse. I don't care how much money you make, you can't take it with you. The Egyptians tried it, they got robbed. That's all they got. You can't take it with you.
The most selfish thing you can do in this world is help someone else. Why is this selfish, because the gratification, the goodness that comes to you, the good feeling that I get from helping others, nothing's better than that.
I've been protected, I've been directed, I've been corrected. I've kept God in my life and it's kept me humble. I didn't always stick with Him but he always stuck with me. So stick with Him, in everything you do, if you think you want to do, what you think I've done, then do what I've done. And stick with God.
Stand-up comedy is a brutal business. And thanks to Netflix, people get overpaid for it.
As my friend, the dear departed Princess Leia, said to me once, take your broken heart, make it into art.
What I know for sure is that speaking your truth is the most powerful tool we all have. And I’m especially proud and inspired by all the women who have felt strong enough and empowered enough to speak up and share their personal stories.
