"You get to know who you really..." - Quote by Oprah Winfrey

“I was in a conversation and someone said: "You know, we were talking about the whole issue of transgender and how it has become so accepted now, and somebody said, 'You know the Oprah show, I think has had a big impact.'" I said, I don't think so. We did several transgender [shows], but we didn't do as much for transgender as I did for, say, abused kids or battered women. And they said, "But no, you started the conversation. You started the conversation and the conversation has led us to here."”

“The chance to love and be loved exists no matter who or where you are.”

“Can I just tell you the truth? I get asked to do a lot of stuff. And all of the years that people have asked me to do things for the film festival, I couldn't. And so this year, I thought, "Oh, my god, I don't have a day job. If somebody ask me to do something, I'm going to do it."”

“A mentor is someone who allows you to see the hope inside yourself.”

“It is art, and art only, that reveals us to ourselves.”

“I don't know if you know who you are, until you lose who you are.”

“Within crisis, are the seeds of opportunity.”

“Our common country is in great peril, demanding the loftiest views, and boldest action to bring it speedy relief.”

“If ever again our nation stumbles upon unfunded paper, it shall surely be like death to our body politic. This country will crash.”
