We've always loved going to the movies. Our mom and dad are big movie fans. They'd take us on these movie orgys where we'd see sometimes three movies in a day.
I've been drawing my whole life. My mom says my sister and I were drawing by age 1. Animation seems a real, natural extension of drawing as a way of telling a story visually.
Anyone who knows me knows my mom, Dorcina, has to sign off on any decision and that she will play a major part in any decision.
Then you've got Georgetown, and I really just like everything about them. When I went down there with my mom, it really opened my eyes to what they were all about. I have to factor in what a school like that can do for me, even away from being a basketball player.
I love what I do and I think it shows. As my kids get older, they can see me as a mom who loves working.
I was fortunate enough to have my kids early, so being a mom always ended up being a better gig than these other parts that came along. So I always justified not really working a lot because I had a family.
When you have lost people like I lost my birth mom at a young age and you remember the whole process of losing her, you want to grab on to something that makes you whole.
At first I could not believe what I was reading. I got up from my seat and walked away, talking to myself that I may have found my mom.
Our songs touch people, and take them back to a time when there was no threat of terrorism, when you didn't have to lock your doors and when Mom and Dad took care of everything.
Whether it's a 16-year old girl, or a mom, or a guy, or anybody, as long as they come up and they're excited to meet me 'cause they've had some sort of relationship with something I've created, it's the coolest thing ever. It never gets old. It's awesome.
My mom is in the navy and my dad works for the army, but I never called them 'sir' or 'ma'am' or anything like that, and we never really moved around a lot because both my parents were stationed in D.C.
When I was young I thought that money was the most important thing in life now that I am old I know that it is.
A little thought and a little kindness are often worth more than a great deal of money.
Money has never made man happy, nor will it, there is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more of it one has the more one wants.
He that is of the opinion money will do everything may well be suspected of doing everything for money.
Money is only a tool. It will take you wherever you wish, but it will not replace you as the driver.
It's a kind of spiritual snobbery that makes people think they can be happy without money.
So you think that money is the root of all evil. Have you ever asked what is the root of all money?
Many people take no care of their money till they come nearly to the end of it, and others do just the same with their time.
After a certain point, money is meaningless. It ceases to be the goal. The game is what counts.
It is not the creation of wealth that is wrong, but the love of money for its own sake.
We go to school to learn to work hard for money. I write books and create products that teach people how to have money work hard for them.
Money is a strange business. People who haven't got it aim it strongly. People who have are full of troubles.
It doesn't matter about money having it, not having it. Or having clothes, or not having them. You're still left alone with yourself in the end.
